Hi guys,
I am new here, hope we will enjoy helping out each other :)
I would like to ask for your advise. I am planning to buy a new PC, but I am not sure if I should wait a bit more for new releases or price drops.
Any suggestions are welcomed.
To-buy list:
CPU: Intel i5
Mobo: unknown (help here)
VGA: some decent VGA That would last me at least 2 years :rolleyes: (HD4870? or maybe HD58xx?)
RAM: 4Gb+ ddr3 ?
HDD: i have an external 1tb, so for my main desktop 500-750 is ok.
PSU: I've got one, pretty good one, Seasonic 430W
Monitor: probably here I would need to increase my budget, 24" monitor
Thanks for your help
 
Hm, I see, thanks mate. Although, I am thinking to throw in some extra cash, I want to get a good VGA, so maybe like under 600sterling
 
Here is mine. What do you think about it?
P.S. excl. VAT price, since I have a VAT number.
Also, I think I will stick to my crappy 17" TFT for now

That processor you chose EARNEST is OEM which means it comes with NO CPU cooler, so youll need to add the cost of a cooler too!

Also the board is dual channel and your buying a tripple channel kit.. Stick with 4gb its cheaper and youll be fine!

Oh, I see...Should I consider x3 channel mobo?
 
OK. Thanks a lot, amigo!
Should I wait till like October-November for prices to drop?
And I think I might get another PSU to be sure everything runs smooth
Shipping to Malta (Europe) is around 50 pounds, damn it.

Thanks all, now I know what direction I should look at. Probably, I am going to wait for couple of weeks.
