New Rig

[crakhamma]

Hi all! Been reading through the forum and have found that it has helped me no end, so far that is. As yous can probably gather i am building a new rig to replace my P4 3.0 ghz 7600gt agp dinosaur.

I have a grand to spend. I may be able to stretch it a little. I have decided on a rig based around these bits.

The rest I am really unsure about. I will be over clocking the 6600 (quality heat sink & fan needed) and Graphics. I would like at least 2gb of memory. I already have mouse keyboard and speakers.

The rig will be mainly used for gaming.

Thanks in advance for any advice

Thanks for the advice. It is surprising what you can get for a grand nowadays

One thing i am a little confused with is memory. Wouldn't it be worth me splashing a little more to get this: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-093-CR&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=

Graphics wise: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-074-HT&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat= It is only 25 quid or so more than the leadtek, again is it worth it??

Basically with these two changes, it will take me up to around £1100 - £1150. I will stretch to this only if it is worth it. This would be my maximum as I would have to rain in some bday funds from my missus in advance.
