Hi guys,
I've had my PC for getting on 4 years now and have saved some cash for an upgrade. I'm looking for it to last a similar amount of time, but who knows. Can you comment on the selection below please and tell me if it seems sensible. Gone for the Quad over the new E6850 because I was planning to clock it to about 3GHz so comments on cooling appreciated.
thanks in advance.
*I already have a PSU and soudcard to go in the PC
*I picked the Leadtek ultra because it was no more expensive than some of the GTX OC cards.
