FinalShot Posted August 14, 2005 Posted August 14, 2005 Hey all, I weren't sure where this was supposed to go but here it goes: I built my last PC with the aid of my brother, but now hes gone off to university and I want to build one (for the experience and since I need a new gaming rig). I sold my old PC to my cousin for relativily cheap. Anyway I am looking to make a new gaming rig, one thats good enough to last for a good 2+ years. Im a bit unsure about as to wether I want to overclock it (What if I do something wrong? Mess up the processor... No warranty eh?). But otherwise, I wish to have a DFI motherboard (I had one for my last PC, 100% satisfyed). I have a £500-£600/$900 - $1100 budget (Not including monitor). Any advice as to what to get would be nice... Its mainly due to all the new processor line-ups comming out I am confused as to what to get. Also I want a 5.1 or better sound system, I want to upgrade gaming experience to a new level So advice here would be nice Final Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
