Hi everyone/anyone
I'm looking at getting a new pc built but researching all the different processors, graphics cards etc just looks too daunting for someone how knows nowt about it. So i'm looking some kindly folk to offer some advice. I've put together some options using pc specialist but i'm pretty sure that i've gone a bit overkill on some of my requirements.
Basically:
Processor (CPU) AMD PHENOM II X2 555
Motherboard ASUS® M4A78LT-M
Memory (RAM) 4GB SAMSUNG DDR3 DUAL-DDR3 1333MHz (2x2GB)
Graphics Card 1GB ATI RADEON™ HD 5750
Memory – 1st Hard Disk 640GB SATA HDD 3Gb/s 640GB 7,200rpm 16MB
1st DVD/BLU-RAY Drive 24x DUAL LAYER DVD WRITER
Power Supply & Case Cooling 600w Quiet 80 Plus Quad Rail PSU + 120mm case fan
Processor Cooling Super Quiet 22dBA Triple Copper Heatpipe CPU Cooler
Sound Card Already got one (but onboard is likely to do anyway)
Networking Not considered important (not 100% sure though)
USB sockets 4 – 6 required
Firewire Could be handy in the future
OS Windows 7 64bit
No Office, Antivirus or any of that stuff needed
To be used for internet (general browsing, watching video), dvd’s, music (have a few hundred CD’s to put on it),
May use for digital video editing in the future (won’t be that much though)
Don’t really play many games (although I will most likely get Football Manager 2011)
My current one has a bit of an overheating problem and restarts a couple of times a month on average either because of overworking and/or its position. The position can’t really be moved though unfortunately so keeping a new one cool is important.
Any recommendations?
