Corrected, thanks. Don't want two monitors :)

I've never dabbled with o/c'ing but don't see why not. The PC is for gaming primarily and whilst I have no budget limit, I don't want to waste money!
 
So you think dropping the cash on the extra gfx board is better than the quad cpu eh?

Interesting.

From what your saying though, there's an expexted Intel price drop just around the corner anyway.

I'm selling the house atm and will probably wait until we get into the new house before starting this little project.
 
Ok, so here's another one. Is there any benefit in going Vista 64 apart from being able to support 4gigs of ram?

Does it limit what can be run on it to just 64 bit applications or versions of games? Sorry if this sounds like a retarded question. We've all got to start somewhere! ;)

Ahh, sorry for stepping on toes. I keep forgetting this is a forum for the store and not just a tech forum :( my bad!

But the spec highlighted by you certainly measures up. I need to read the info on putting these things together.
