Hey guys as i got myself a job at pc *****(dont boo!!)
over christmas i finally have some money to build a new pc in january. My brother is buying me a case and giving me his old x1800 XL, my dad is getting me a PSU and my m8 is getting me a dvd-rw haha!
So i am left with the HD, CPU, MOBO and RAM.
As i am building in Jan my main question is how much do you think the cheapest quad-core CPU will be (amd or intel)? Do you know when any price cuts will come into play? For example i wont mind waiting untill february to build.
Im looking into getting a seagate 7200.10/11 HD and 2gb of pc2-6400.
I am unsure of the motherboard but i want one with a 1333fsb if its intel so i can use the newer intel CPU's although i know some use 1600fsb. By february do you think AMD will be priced more reasonably? Could i get a quad-core for £120-130?
Cheers all
