New Computer

cpu wise the intels have got the quad cores out, but there serious cash, there current duel cores are much better gaming wise than AMDS, however, AMD are starting to catch up and are quite low in price in comparios, so maybe something along the lines of a AMD CPU AM2 Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 6000+, runs at 3ghz but can easily be overclocked if nessecary and u cant go far wrong with AMD, Video cards – the new GTX’s are good, im ordering up a BFG GeForce 8800 GTX OC 768MB, its about 350 quid, but there shit hot – if your looking for something a little less expensive then the BFG GeForce 7950 GT is excellent, i use it at the mo – handles CoH, BF2142 etc with ease and comes in a Sli Version. As for motherboard, im not entirely sure whats fantastic atm – currently iv got a gigabyte motherboard, found it to be fantastic, comes SLI READY, which il be hoping to do at some stage, so just have a look around, you can pick up a good motherboard for around 80 – 110 quid, case wise id say the Antec Nine Hundred Ultimate Gaming Case – its extremely cool, has HD fans at front, one at back and a large 200mm one based at the top, all fans are adjustable, iv set mine all to high – which means it is relatively noisey – nothing extreme, but u can set these all down to low or medium, so its much quiter, the case also has two rubber sockets at the back if you wish to use water cooling at any point, which would obviously cut down the DB, PSU’s – TAGAN and OCZ do awesome powersupplied, silent and plenty of power – if your setup is quite demanding, id say go for something around the 700 watt, anyway, hope some of that helps.

Intel have led the way for a good 12 months now and have a 33% increase in gaming over AMD.If you was getting a core2duo then i would get the E6600 or E6700.If you have more money then i would get the Q6600 to futureproof yourself.As for graffix iwould go Nvidia and get the GTX not the Ultra as for the extra money it will cost you its not that big of a performance boost.And mainboard i would never buy another brand than Asus and the Striker Extreme ROCKS!!!!.I have the Antec nine hundred as does Madmax,its a really nice case and VERY quiet,everything else looks good to go mate.

Corsair HX 620 Pod, quiet as fook and run my Core 2 Duo system/Nvidia 8800 with no probs, modular and very very quiet
