After using my trusty xp2700 & Geforce 5600xt for 3 years, the time has come to upgrade.
It will be used for playing games new and old, playing music/video and internet surfing in general with the odd bit of home photography thrown in. Possibly also a 24/7 machine recording from my security cams.
I would like it to last a few years and it will be my first attempt at clocking.
In a few months I will be moving up to a 24inch flat screen and will have a large external HD for backing up.
What do you think of this spec?
