Help from IT and gaming bod’s

[Tim-Grove]

I could do with some help spending my money

I’m looking to build me a new rig in about a month and I have about 800ish quid to spend.

Kit I already have that I’m keeping from my old rig:
19” widescreen TFT
Speedlink Ultra flat metal Keyboard
Logitech MX510 mouse
Enermax liberty 500W PSU
Silver CoolerMaster Mystique Case
Silver Poineer 111D DVD writer
Silver Floppy drive

So basically im looking to get:

CPU (I’m thinking Conroe)
Mobo
Graphics card
Ram (I’m thinking 2Gb Geil DDR2)
Hard drive (I’m thinking Samsung spinpoint)

I don’t really play many games at the moment but I want to start getting into PC gaming and eventually maybe a little bit of overclocking.

Once built I’ll want to keep this system for at least a couple of years before I need to upgrade again. So hopefully my budget will allow me buy a rig that will play games to a reasonable standard for the next couple of years

Feel free to swap and change what I’ve been thinking of as you lot will know better than me.

Thanks.

dont think my budget will strech that far

yeah I recommend waiting for Dx10 cards - with Vista coming out soon and DX10 cards starting to come out wating to upgrade is a wise a idea.
