New PC Questions

Hi,

First of all this is a spec I came up with, as I only have a laptop currently it's about time I got a decent PC.

Can anyone suggest any changes in that spec, I'm not getting it untill atleast Christmas or maybe after that, so the Windows Vista would be Windows 7 in the pic above.

Also, should I wait for the next CPU's I think their Hex Core, or just get the i7, if it's still out in Christmas time.

Right I've changed the DVD burner to the 217 model.

What about the mobo, can I get a cheaper one that will be good quality?

Absolutely no point whatsoever speccing a PC right now when you want to buy it at Christmas. The hardware landscape will be almost unrecognisable by then.

Reflux is right - if the budget remains the same, your whole spec will be different by Xmas (well the majority of it).
