Thread resurection time..

I was livid when i found this !! How many time have you asked me all this? I seem to spec you a system every 6 months, then you ask all over again???

I even explainned to you the reason for going intel over AMD at the moment.. That's not to say it will stay thay way but it looks certian for the time being.

I'd say the Q6600 is a bargan at the moment and will keep you going a few years yet.. That with some GeIL PC6400 (2GB is under £50), 8800GTS 320, and any of the P35 motherboards.

I'm not sure your existing system if worth much now, so don't expect any big returns.

I will be looking at some intel options over the weekend.
Huddy, every time I look into this for a rebuild sometining comes up. Mainly work, then the DIY / improving work around the house. Not only does it take my time but also my MONEY ! ! ! ! !
So hence why I keep looking a the kit that has moved on since I last looked.
sorry to pain a reoccuring pain, bit like AMD at the mo !

The best thing to do is ask when you have the money and know of a budget. That way we can compile a list that's value for money at that time.

For a decent system (mid to top range) you're looking at around £600.

Ok, I think I will have to wait till after Xmas. As things are getting busy again.
I do fancy that Dell TFT as well, so thats a £1,000 m8 on a rebiuld ! ouch !

You can get a Sumsung 24" for £100 less which was what I was going to go for if I couldn't have got my hands on a non-HC Dell 2407.

At least with the monitor it's not something you change that often. Hopefully, my dell will be still playing the likes of Crysis 3 and HL2-Ep8

I'd go Intel myself, if I was getting a whole new rig
