Hi Oc
Ive had my pc for sometime its a old intel single core(2.4ghz), i updated parts as i went along, and the boards still agp i have nvidia 6200, 2gb ram ddr1. Its finding it hard to play some new games.

I want to build the pc to be capable of playing the game crysis (expected in november) on high

The specification is here

http://www.crysissector.com/info/systemrequirements.php

I dont need screen keyboard etc.. just the tower, i have look about the things and have got this together...

How have i done with the parts? if anyone could recommend any other bits i might need or any parts you would swap around, it would be great thanks!

o and i havnt over clocked before.. i was wondering if you would recommend starting?

I tried to get the parts within £1k

i dont have windows vista yet, ive just got xp home from my old pc

also i have a 200gb ide drive that i forgot to mention which i was going to use, but maybe more storage would be a plus anyway.

would you suggest vista?

I'll probably be buying from now until september sometime the games expected november anyway, anyone think its worth waiting until mid september? (incase the new nvidia card pushes prices down)

thanks for your replys
 
Thanks for the feedback, :cool: im going to take the advice on psu(hope its enough power for quad core and 8800), hd and get the lower ram speed to try some overclocking, going to stick with that cpu, the cpu cooler i will also get.
I thought the new graphics card was going to be called the g90 or something?

might go with NullVoid's BFG 8800gtx OC and Asus P5KC ddr2/ddr3 combo, (for ddr3 future proof?)

Whilst my pc does run some games i currently play at medium/low(read my spec on top post) im going to wait a little while, want it about september time anyway because il have not much to do(apart from work, some people are going on holiday), and i guess you can go on waiting forever if you always want to worry about new parts / lower prices.

I hope the 8800 doesnt struggle on crisis or anyother new games out? :confused:
Ive also got oblivion that i would like to see in full motion.

oh and is it posible to link up your pc to a samsung high def screen?
anyone know what would be needed?

Ive got a samsung hd ready le40r7(not mine :rolleyes: )

offtopic:
It took me a while to find an email address that would let me sign up to OcUK forums.

Hi Again

Hi again

Last month i was thinking about building a new system thats still my plan, now I've got the money to order asap( and can't wait anymore :rolleyes: )

This is what i had spec'd up from last months advice:



This is what spec i have now (im ready to order):



Do you think this is better for money? and is that enough power 520w to over clock (will be my first time oc'in )
Any other help again will be appreciated.

thanks

Yeah i'l go for that cooler (Noctua NH-U12F CPU Cooler) and that board

If someone can confirm the cooler will fit in a antec 900 case?
otherwise il stick with the current cooler.

thanks for your replys
