my new system??

pofrot · 04-02-2008, 11:27 PM

Hi guys

I play eve online, watch movies, run dreamweaver, photoshop and anything i can on my PC. Not at once mind u.

Its time for an upgrade and this is my choice, i wanna know what u think:
motherboard , cpu , ram , http://cgi.ebay.ie/NVidia-GeForce-88...QQcmdZViewItem , PSU
and im using my current hard drives, seagate 250Gb sata x2 hehe.

My current system i also built myself, bout 3 years back, 1 problem i did have was. After buying everything, i assemlbed the whole thing, and then it wouldnt work, main prob was the board or whatever, didnt pick up my HD with OS(xp sp2), sata drives that is. I had to take it in to a pc repair shop and they charged me 2 much i think.

Have the new m/boards evolved beyond that point and when i do assemble this new one it will work/pick up my Hd 1st try??

If you have suggestions regarding this setup, please link what u think is better, i aint got 2 much mony 2 spend on this so keep that in mind.

cheers

I would strongly recommend looking for a better PSU. here is some useful info.
Power Supply Information and Selection
Note: Make sure you do a System Prep on the HDD if you are planning on using the existing OS install.

I agree, go with a good brand such as Antec.
