Hi all
I am about to get myself a new PC and have come up with the following specs
Can you let me know if anything should be changed at all?
My current PC is an old AMD 2GHz so this should be a vast improvement!


Antec Performance One P190 + 1200 UK - mid tower - extended ATX

ASUS P5N-T Deluxe AiLifestyle Series - motherboard - ATX - nForce 780i SLI

Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6850 / 3 GHz processor

Kingston HyperX memory - 4 GB ( 2 x 2 GB ) - DIMM 240-pin - DDR II

ASUS EAH3870X2/G/HTDI - graphics adapter - 2 GPUs - Radeon HD 3870 - 1 GB

WD Caviar GP WD10EACS - hard drive - 1 TB - SATA-300

Sony NEC Optiarc DRU-190S - DVD±RW (±R DL) / DVD-RAM drive - Serial ATA


Many thanks
 
to be honest i would rather stay away from overclocking as i have had a bad experience of that in the past (my own fault lol)
why would you make that many changes, is that purely a cost decision or performance based?

Many thanks for your input
 
The only reason i was going for the Nforce 780i and 3870X2 is that i had already brought the Nforce 780i and my friend said he could get me a 3870X2 really cheap
Would i find any problems using these two together then?
 
thanks for that - it looks great
the only change i would need to make is the HDD but that wouldnt be such a huge cost
thanks very much for that - i appreciate it
