I am not sure if this is the wright place to post but hey u can shout at me and i wnt do it again!

I am looking at building/getting a new desktop computer fro home. I mainly use photogshop and a little bit of Flight Sim X and listening to a little bit of music (Bit genreal!). I was hoping to spend between 650-850 UK Pounds. I have already got god setup of monitors so wouldnt need any of them in the build setup. Below i have set out some requirements.
  • No Monitors needed
  • The graphics card must be able to do dual monitor
  • I only need 1 HDD to run the Operating systems off as i can use previous high speed drives
  • I would run Windows Vista Ultimate - OEM Software i could use
  • MUST have great cooling capabilities as my current computer is RUBBISH at cooling!
  • Good amount of RAM 2GB+
  • All round good spec!
I hope that i am not asking too much. I am not sure on which processor to use as there seem to be so many!!!

All responses and suggestions would be appreciated.

Also a computer that doesnt sound like a jumbo jet at take off would be good (Unlike my current computer!)

Thanks

graphics card - 8800GTS 320MB
HDD - Seagate or WD
HSF - Tuniq Tower
RAM 2GB - OCZ or Geil
M/B - DS3
CPU - 6300
PSU - Corsair 520W
 
The CPU is indeed Intel, it is a Core2Duo 6300. The motherboard is a Gigabyte DS3 and the graphics card is simply the cheapest 320mb 8800GTS. Ram would be Geil PC6400 C4 or OCZ PC2-6400. :)
 
Sorry to sound like a total idiot, would it also be possible to add it with a bit more detail as looking on the overclockers website i have not been able to find it easily
 
No worries, sometimes it is easy to forget that not everyone knows the abbreviations that we often use. The CPU is the Intel Core 2 Duo E6300, I've selected the OEM since it is a little cheaper and you are getting an aftermarket cooler although you could pick the retail if you wanted to.

If you have problems finding anything else then post and I, or someone else, will be able to point you to the product. :)
 
Ok, so what is the difference between OEM and Retail fro computer components?? i only know about OEM and retail fro software.

thanks

Retail comes with glossier packaging, full manuals (which can be obtained online anyway) and often longer warranty periods. Basically the same as software.

In most cases OEM products are more than fine. Anything from this site certainly is. :)
 
OK thanks, i dont think i would bother with retail after your description as manuals just collect dust at the back of a shelf anyway!
