Hi i currently own a prebuilt piece of poo as follows:
# Intel Pentium D 950 Dual Core Processor
# 3.4GHz, 800MHz FSB
# Microsoft Windows XP Media Center
# 2GB DDR RAM
# 400GB Hard Disk Drive
# VD ROM Drive + Dual Layer DVD RW Drive
# 512MB nVIDIA GeForce 7600GS Graphics
# 300GB Removable Hard Drive
I'm thinking of buying this lot:
Intel Core 2 Duo E2160 "LGA775 Conroe" 1.80GHz (800FSB) - Retail
GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC2-6400C4 800MHz Ultra Low Latency DDR2 Dual Channel
Asus P5K SE Intel P35 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard
Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro CPU Cooler (Socket LGA775)
OcUK GeForce 8800 GT 512MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail
Antec Basic 500W PSU
And adding to the above computer. This is the first time ive ever upgraded a comp / overclocked one.
Few questions:
1. is there anything else i need?
2. Is there a better way to spend my money? (totals £378.22 incl. VAT and shipp)
3. is there any way to keep the info on my HDD?
