Hi All,
First post so please be gentle!
Looking to build my first ever PC and would appreciate some advice on components.
My Requirements
----------------
1) Good sound output - i love listening to my music. My current PC uses on-board sound and it does the job pretty well but would a dedicated sound card help?
2) Programming - looking to learn C#, SAS and other BI applications over the coming year and some of these may be quite demanding on the CPU
3) Dual Monitor set up is a must - you can never have enough screens!
4) A quiet PC - another must
5) Gaming - yes, looking forward to F12012 in the coming weeks but don't expect to be playing anything else
Some early ideas
----------------
1) Case: Quite like the coolermaster silencio 550
2) Motherboard: gigabyte-ga-z77x-ud5h-socket-1155
3) CPU - intel-core-i5-3570k-3-4ghz
4) GPU - ?
Really open to any suggestions - hope you can all help
Thanks
PS - budget - probably max £800 ish
