So its about time i upgrade my current PC which is a AMD 3000XP, ATI 1800, 2GB Ram, Win Xp Pro, Enermax Liberty 500w PSU
Ive been looking around and reading a lot and thinking of the following and could use your advice.
Logitech G15 Rev.2 Gaming-Grade Illuminated Keyboard - Retail £49.99
(£58.74)
Gigabyte GA-P35C-DS3R (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 & DDR3 Motherboard £66.99
(£78.71)
Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 "LGA775 Conroe" 2.66GHz (1333FSB) - Retail £108.99
(£128.06)
Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro CPU Cooler (Socket LGA775) £14.99
(£17.61)
BFG GeForce 8800 GT OC 512MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail £154.99
(£182.11)
Samsung SpinPoint T 320GB SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM (HD321KJ) £42.99
(£50.51)
Samsung SH-S203PRSMN 20x DVD±RW SATA Dual Layer Lightscribe ReWriter (Beige/Black/Silver) - Retail £19.99
(£23.49)
OCZ 4GB (2x2GB) PC2-6400C5 Dual Channel Vista Gold Series DDR2 (OCZ2G8004GK)
Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium 64-Bit Edition DVD - OEM - 1Pk (66I-00788)
Is my current PSU good enough for this?
How much and what speed RAM would you recommend?
What version of Vista should i get. I am mainly going to play games on this like Gears of War, UT3, Crysis etc. Im leaning to the Premium.
Do i need a sound card or will the onboard be ok. i just used onboard with my last mobo.
Thanks for any help.
