Hi,
I want a new asus motherboard and intel C2D processor for a first build but I still want to use my old HDD (x2) and my DvD drives (x2). I know that most new mobo's only have one IDE socket so I could still use my old IDE HDDs (x2) through the master-slave setup on the mobo and then use DVD drives (x2) through a PCI IDE controller card.
I already have got a case, a 550 Watt PSU. I’ve yet to decide on a graphics card and some RAM, but probably going to spend no more than £60 on each.
I will mostly be using the computer for office work, web, Photoshop, movie editing and the odd game like COD2 and possibly on COD4 in the future.
Like the idea of a Intel C2D E6550 seems like a nice all rounder as I won't really be doing any overclocking.
Any help or advice that is offered will be welcomed and appreciated.
Cheers for your help
