Sorry another spec me thread

[welding11]

Hi everyone,

I am going to build my own pc for the first time with a bit of help from someone who has. Basically i am going to be using it to play games mainly and the usual web surfing etc.

I would like a system that is going to last a while without OCing because i am new to the whole thing, I will be doing at a later date though so this needs to be taken into consideration.

Realistically i want this system to last a few good years and still be able to play new games relatively smooth.

I have tried to look at stuff but all to confusing for me because there is so much and new to it all. Any help would be appreciated.

My budget is around £1000-1500 and that is for everything if i can go cheaper that would be nice but not to important. Last thing i think im going to order end of june just wanted to get spec now, dont know whether that matters or not

Thanks for the quick reply, I'm not questioning your choices dont know enough to do that im just wondering the difference between having a duo rather than quad?

Also the monitor i may have to go smaller,not for definete will that make any difference?

Ok i am planning to keep my pc for I would say at least two years how it is depending on how everything is performing and then for even longer if all still ok.

For that sort of time I am keeping it what would you recomend uprade to quad core or just stay with duo and upgrade later on. If upgrade to quad what would your recomended one be with the spec you have given me (sorry like a say still new so just getting to grips with differnet things )

So with everything took into consideration if i went with this spec with probaly a quad core would this last me a few years with playing decent games such as crysis?

To mean it al looks good and you know what you're talking about from reading the forums

The one last question is the psu i know you chose one in the spec but what do you have to think about when choosing one because one person i have spoke to make it sound slike you need everything top end like 1000w psu or what ever they are?

would this be ok

Intel Core 2 Quad Pro Q6600 2.40GHz Guaranteed to run at 3.00GHZ (1333FSB) - Retail

Would that be fine with the rest of the spec and also would i need any extra stuff, like to keep it cool, im not sure?

 

[welding11]

Ok thanks for all your help and im going to definetily go ahead with this sec.

Like i said before i will probaly get in a month or two hopefully a month.

Thank you again

Thnaks for another spec its practically identical. I am thinking of going for that mouse and a different keyboard.

What is the major difference between the two motherboards or is it just preference?
