New System spec help

lukeism · 4 Nov 2007 at 17:14

I'm going to buy a new rig (hopefully tonight) on a fairly tight budget. I'd quite like a quad core CPU so its futureproof and a nice shiny new wide tft.

My options are:
either a 21.6" widescreen, 2.4 quad and a 8600 gt.

or something more like a 19", a e2180 and a 8800 gt.

My budget is around £700.

Feel free to spec me something completely different up too.

thanks

I'm pretty happy with that, £740 is fine. Should I go with a bigger PSU?

Which OS would you use?

I've got a wg111t usb wireless dongle, Apparently that isn't compatiable. I can just use a spare access point and hardwire that in for now.

it will still need 64-bit drivers though.

Nah, the access point connects via ethernet cable to the onboard LAN on the motherboard, which does have 64bit drivers.
