My future proof PC build *REVIS3D*

[Tony Williams]

I WONT be buying all ths from www.overclockers.co.uk I just used it plan out my build!

I chose 2 GB of RAM so in the future games will still own I am hoping this computer will be mid range in 2/3 years time.

AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4400+ (OcUK/£446.44)

Asus A8N-SLi Deluxe nForce4 SLi (OcUK/£117.44)

Corsair 2GB DDR XMS3200C2PT TwinX (2x1GB) CAS2 (OcUK/£182.07)

Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 10 250GB SATA 16MB (OcUK/£88.07)

NEC ND3540 16x16 DVD±RW Dual Layer ReWriter (Black) (OcUK/£32.78)

Antec NeoPower 480W ATX2.0 PSU (OcUK/£82)

Coolermaster Wave Master - Black (OcUK/£102)

** All comes to about £1000/$1800 however once some others have given me thier verdict I can look at other places as OcUK are expensive!

Now for the video card ....

Leadtek WinFast GeForce 6800 GT 256MB
£240 x 2 = £480

Or save up for this ......

Leadtek WinFast GeForce 6800 Ultra 256MB DDR3 X 2
£287 x 2 = £574

I'll order nearer or even after chirstmas so the parts are MUCH cheaper .... maybe if they drop a lot I could get a 7800GTX?

So what GFX card?

I WILL check out the ATi Corssfire!

My god, this seems so similar to this...http://www.tech-forums.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=61863. Hey at least theres optical drive here. Other than that, same as my other post.

The 7800 GTX has more power than 2 6800 Ultras in SLI, so I would say the GTX.

My future proof PC build *REVIS3D*

Except....
1. you dont take into account Socket M2
2. RAM is on the slow slide comparatively (was expecting VX/Redline)

Well nothing is future proof. Just because intel hasn't announced plans for a new socket doesn't mean there wont be a new one. Besides will be a while before M2 is released.

Well nothing is future proof.
