Hey everyone. I've decided recently that I'm going to get a new PC in a couple of weeks (sooner I hope
). Here's the spec I have come up with after having a discussion with people from my gaming clan:
I have a few questions really:
1. Is the spec OK? Am I getting good bang for my buck? I know the case is rather pricey, but the way I see it, the reviews for it at superb and it keeps everything nice and cool so hopefully it'll increase the life of my parts :) (+ plus it looks nice
: )
1.5 Am I missing anything? The only things I'm bringing from my old PC are my dual monitors, keyboard and mouse. Am I going to be able to get these parts and start setting up the day I get them?
2. Should I use the stock fan that comes with the CPU? I don't plan on overclocking much (most likely not at all) so I'm not sure if I'll need a different one. When I made the PC I didn't get any thermal paste with it so didn't even know I had to use it (it's an Athlon 64 3000+). Is it necessary and will I get any with my stock fan?
3. How would I build this? I have had a look at some videos on youtube and even though none are specific to these components they make it seem pretty easy. For my current PC I only watched someone build it!
Thanks for your time, I realise I've asked a lot... but I tried to get it all out in one go to the thread doesn't drag on forever.
Thanks for your time, and I look forward to your responses ;)
