I was just looking at the thread on what could go wrong with self-builds and coincidentally, I made a boo-boo when I built mine. However, the problem has just been diagnosed (when the mobo fried at the weekend) and now I need a rebuild.
I have and am keeping: 2x hard disk, 2x optical disks, a Geforce 7800GTX, 2x 1Gb RAM
I am thinking I might keep the C2D processor I bought 3 months ago - the 6420 - but I could be tempted to upgrade if it's worth doing.
I will be buying a new sound card - X-Fi Music, £42.99 + vat. That's a dead cert.
I need a motherboard, cpu cooler, case, and a modular PSU that can handle this spec. I will not be going SLI.
Budget: £400-500 inc vat.
Can anyone make recommendations for this spec?
