Hi All,
Im new to these forums, but have been reading some of these threads, and see the suggestion threads, and though cool i could do with some help.
I do a medium amount of Computer gaming and a fair bit of video encoding. and would like an I7 so that i can do that and use my PC at the same time.
Firstly before I start.. I want Windows 7
(Do I get the vista with the upgrade - or wait for 7... or buy without OS and use the Win 7 RC till i can get a real copy)
Secondly I havent ever Overclocked anything before - but i have built some systems (just been a while) So will be more likely to pay the extra and get OcUk to do the dirty work.
My LCD is only a Benq 19" which isnt great but will do untill i can afford it after my new pc.
- I have also used in the past my Panasonic Viera 42" Plasma (which i will use again for gaming / film nights, with sound through HDMI using ATI dongle and convertor cable)
So.... Budget is 1200 - 1500 (can scrape extra if really needed)
I havent listed Prices -- as yet, because if i wait till 7 is out they will have changed.
