PC hardware Geek advice needed.....

[Jo3y]

I've been out of the hardware side of PC's for a long time so I need someone with more upto date knowledge to let me know if this setup looks ok to you, whether it could be inproved or saved upon without sacrificing too much performance.

Cheers

Can you also tell me which of these two types of ram you'd go for as they're the same price.....

There is but they don't really work out any cheaper. The only one with Quad core that's cheaper comes with a motherboard with a Virtual Dual Bios instead of a quad core bios.... so I'd imagine I wouldn't get the most out of the chip with it.

As for the Memory and Graphics card... is that card the best to go for or would I be better off spunking another 110 for a better card and only having 2Gb of ram?

go for the ocz, if you plan to overclock it is able to cope with different voltages running through it(a little more versatile, the crucial could be volatile )

Another vote for OCZ.

OCZ ram, and i would change the gts to the 640mb rather than the 320mb version

ahh kk

i got the exact same graphics card and tbh every game ive played i play on max settings with every detail up full whack and highest resolution.

i average around 100fps on a 58 player server. upto 250 fps on a 10 man server.

lowest ive seen it drop to is 60-70fps on a 64 man server.

awesome graphics card

Getting rid of 2Gb of Ram? It's an extra 70 quid and not sure if I can afford it

Looks like the 320Mb version will suffice then?
