[chrisnic0]

Hi guys, im in the market for a new PC but i have a few bits and pieces already so was looking for some advice really.
Ive been out of the loop in terms of PC stuff so now sure what to get at the min ive got.

24" LCD
400Gb Sata HD
200Gb Sata HD
USB keyboard and Mouse.
Windows Vista

So need the rest of the system to total around 600-800.
I will be playing quite a few games such as COD4, Cysis, HL2 etc,
Internet and office stuff aswell.
Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks
Chris

the 520W corsair should be fine if u want to save some cash, also requires a case and a 64 bit Os if you want to see all 4 GB of ram, drop to 2Gb if you want.

This sits about the middle of the budget but you could easily go from here to an 8800GTX and drop the case down if you wanted. The only major objection at present is that the graphics cards are all pre-order but just pick any 8800GT.

Thanks for your comments guys,
I was looking at a same Lian Li case poss the Lian Li PC-A05B

Also would i be better off getting more slower ram
OCZ 4GB (2 x 2GB) PC2-5400C5

Or stick with 2gb of fast stuff?

Also both you recommend the ABIT mobo just wondering what these are like compared to ASUS? I would poss do a lil bit of O/C but not much

Thanks again
Chris

Or stick with 2gb of fast stuff?

In both specifications it is 4x1gb which shouldn't really be any different to 2x2gb except that the specifications are a bit better although you have to rely on more parts to keep working.

Abit are pretty good, I am quite fond of Asus motherboards anyway for their stability and the decent overclocking usually so pick whichever suits your budget best.
