Please have a look at my (proposed) new system:
Hi guys. Could you have a look over the following for me, and make any suggestions.
I still need RAM, but know nothing about it. I've got maybe around £100 for RAM, but that's flexible. Am I better getting sort of 4gb of slower ram or 2gb of fast RAM?
I've got some spare budget left, up to let's say an additional £200, but only if it's worth spending. I've already bought the graphics card - it's in my current machine.
I'm not a massive gamer, but will probably play some games. My main objective is for it to be quiet as I use it as a media PC (for music editing, photo editing, watching films and listening to music)
How does this look?
BenQ FP241WZ 24" Widescreen HDMI/HDCP LCD HD Monitor - Silver/Black
Antec Sonata III Piano Black Quiet Case - EarthWatts 500W PSU
Scythe Ninja Plus Rev.B Heatpipe CPU Cooler
Intel Core 2 Duo E4300 "LGA775 Allendale" 1.80GHz (800FSB) - Retail
Samsung SpinPoint T HD501LJ 500GB SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM
Pioneer DVR-112DBK 18x18 DVD±RW Dual Layer ReWriter - (Black) OEM
Gigabyte GA_P35C_DS3R (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 & DDR3
Vista system builders' edition
(already purchased) MSI NX8600GTS-T2D256EZ HD GeForce 8600GTS 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Silent Heatpipe Video Card - Retail
Thanks a lot
Robin
