Hey All!

Instead of getting this system repaired, im gonna go for a new system! This one is 3years old anyways :x

CoolerMaster 1000W Silent Pro M1000 Modular PSU
ASUS M4A89GTD-PRO: 4x Rear USB2.0 2x Rear USB 3.0 1x Rear Firewire
AMD Phenom™ II X6 1090T 6-Core 3.2GHz 9MB Cache
Corsair H60 High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler
Corsair XMS3 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600MHz
nVidia GeForce GTX 580 1536MB
Windows 7 home 64

What do you pros reckon? Was kinda split between AMD and Intel, would have liked Intel but the price difference between them both is a lot :S
Would this be a good system? Hoping it lasts me atleast another 3years or so!

Have a limit of around £1400 - £1600. Really would have liked to build my own but i have 0 confidence and 0 experience, and if i broke something i'd hate to have to pay again to replace it.

Any advice / suggestions welcome!

thanks!

What do you use the PC for?

Also I would reaaaaally recommend building it yourself. The parts are more robust than you might imagine, following this Newegg Build Guide theres not really much that can go wrong.

gaming, nothing hardcore, just want a kickass system :x

forgot to add the case which is a coolermaster haf932. got everything else already, will get a new monitor at some point!

jony27, would i need to put all that together myself?

I'd love to build a system myself! I really cant afford to screw anything up tho!

thanks again!
