the time has come. I've exhausted my supply of insults and curses on this old gal' so its time to move on.

i plan to spend around 1000 monies
and the idea is this should get me too uni and hopefully half way through it.

list so far is:

Case - Antec Nine Hundred 900
Mobo - Asus P5Q Deluxe
HDD - Samsung SpinPoint F1 1TB
CPU - Q6600 G0
RAM - Ocz (2x2gb) 800mhz pc6400
Gfx card - HD 4870 512MB DDR5
PSU - Corsair 620W HX Modular
Disk drive - cheapass RW SATA
OS - Vista 64bit Home premium
cooling - Arctic Cooling AC-FRZ-7P (Zalman CNPS 9700 shall replace this)

total is just over 850

i got nearly 200 monies leftover so any suggestions as to upgrades are welcome
otherwise i'll be throwing in a nice keyboard and headset. (in which case i have 130ish monies left for upgrades)

thanks to Skillers for teh help so far

i will most likely be ordering on boxing day or very shortly after.

does that include a screen? screens are good, they helps you see things.

yeah i got a 22inch. that should suffice for now

Heh, good choice.

As a point of reference, I built a very similar computer lately and plan to have it last 4 years, with possibly a single graphics upgrade.

Well that sounds like a pretty good choice so far. If you have £200 spare i dont really know what i would suggest...maybe upgrading the motherboard as that will help you in the years to come. I would also suggest waiting to after new year or something as they will most likely be starting there January sales then ...yes i know that may be hard to wait as im sure you want ur new pc asap

Alternatively he could do something shocking and SAVE the money.

LOL yes that would be the better option considering you would be pretty much wasting £200 on accessories what are not needed

January sales seem to hit the computing market around Feburary. You should see a price reduction on that Q6600 then because of the i7 release.

£200?
Buy an MMO, get addicted and waste your life. I did ^^

IN which case do not do what he did DON'T BECOME ADDICTED...IT WILL RULE UR LIFE.

Save some money for buying Diablo 3 when that comes out kk?

bah, i ain't waiting for February.
i'm ordering on Saturday at the latest.

Fatal1ty headset + razer Lycosa + some games will get rid of the change.

just to satisfy my paranoia, could someone gimme the compatibility thumbs up plz?
