Same old question for a system

[rodders]

My mate has £2000 to spend on a whole computer.
Decent monitor, speakers, CPU, g/card etc... the whole lot.

Can someone knock up a list please?

Cheers all

I'm no expert on speakers so I just sorta picked some that looked like they had good reviews. This is a pretty darn über spec.

That looks good! Its not worth getting 4 gigs ram yet is it? cause vista 64 is still rubbish isnt it?
Those processors have down in price a lot!?!?!

Cheers bud

4 GiB isn't necessary quite yet but if you have the money it's definitely not going to hurt. Vista 64 has essentially the same driver and compatibility problems as Vista 32 so why not go full out.

If I were spending as much as you I'd definitely want 4 GiB, perhaps even 8.

But if running XP, due to compatibilty issues, you can only have 3 gig?

It matters if you're using a 32 or 64-bit version of XP.

my friend bought some of those speakers a while back, and tbh, the sub wayyy to big, it's generally just too big of a sound system and i woul'dnt recomment it, and that's without adding that my friends where all tweaky with the sound etc, definatelly not a good buy.

considering the fact that vista uses 1 gig of ram, i'd suggest that you get more than just 2 gig.
