G'day dudes.. Since its my gap year just working my arse off for uni.
So Ima going to treat my self to a good computer.
And since i'm going to spend the cash I want to spend the cash right.
Few problems I havn't hit the PC scene for ages so I just don't know whats good.
I have about 2k-3k spending money.
I Know that I'm Definately going to get a quad core... So I was thinking a..
Q9550 how clockable are they? Then I was thinking of ZALMAN CNPS9900 to
cool the beast unless you guys have any suggestions.
Around 1-3terrabytes of storage. So, I was thinking..
Main Drive W/OS Raptor 36gig
Then 2-4 600GIG Drives proberly Western Digital.
I'm not completely sure about DDR2 speeds these days but I see theres
DDR3?! Is there anypoint of getting the more expensive memory..?
Sure there will be a performance increase but is it worth the amout of cash?
Corsair XMS3 6GB DDR3-1600 Triple Kit for roughly $500 ?
I've got the case sorted I'm thinking a Thermaltake Speedo.. Looks Decent, or any suggestions?
Power im thinking around a 700-800watt.. Named brand.. But I want a PSU
That I can take the cords out that I don't use. I think they call it like modular or somthing?
Also the motherboard. No clue on that one So I need help =]
And graphics card.(I always used this rule: More Expensive the better)
Works with most things.. But still =] Suggestions!!
Thanks for reading all of this if you did I look forward to your answers. =]
