Hi people.

i currently have a 2 and half ish year old setup and its starting to lag with current games.

This is the hardware

2gb Geil Value Ram
P4 3.4GHz Northwood
Abit IC7 MAX3
ATI Radeon 9800PRO (128mb)
5 x Sata Hard Drives
New DVDRW
Black Floppy Drive
Hyper 520W PSU
And Exos External watercooling.

Ok now on the machine i primairily do gaming and a lot of photoshop work, so i'm gonna need a meaty graphics card.

I prefer ATI over nvidia. so would rather have that in the spec's back when it was built i was a heavy Intel fan boy not sure whats better these days though.

Now i don't plan to use the watercooling on the new machine. And also i want the motherboard to be crossfire capable for future security.

Think that pretty much covers it.
Oh yeh. budget about 600 - 700 mark, won't be needed a new case
Any questions feel free to ask.

Thanks :)
 
As per the usual replies for these threads: wait a few weeks if you can. Conroe and the AMD price cuts are just around the corner. Judging by the latest batch of Conroe benchies, it'll be well worth the wait.
