Yeah it does future proof me, atleast for a couple years.
I will have it installed tomorrow nite so will let use know how I get on
On previous builds I got my parts from local retailers - a lot better for returning things as you can pop in and get a replacement that day. Online shops are cheaper but the RMA is a pain - started preceedings on the 3rd December .... just getting PSU now.
Goal is system 100% A ok before 2007 lol, with 2GB RAM and a Western Digital 150 rapter for my OS..... with that setup I am sure it will last me a few years..... maybe a DX10 G-Card next year to keep it up to date.
