Can I plz get some guidance from you wise guys out there
I am looking at building my 1st computer soon, around the 22nd when the prices drop, and have come up with the below spec. Basically just use it for some gaming, mainly Age of Empires, FM07 and maybe some MMORPG soon. Trying to keep the price around 600, can go upto about 850 if needs be and worth it. already have monitor, keyboard and mouse.
I would look to OC the cpu to around 3 ghz and maybe play around with OCing the ram or GPU
Looking for sumat that'll last about 3 years so need DX10 e.t.c.
