Right i would like to upgrade some bits on my PC.

Any suggestions.????

Mainly used for gaming, so i've sorted a GC already. ATI 850XT PE

What brands of modo to use?
Is 1gb of DDR400 enough? i've got 512 DDR400 at the moment.
AMD or P4? Dual core? what speed ? 3? 3.5?

Regards HD, im gonna go for a raptor drive.

Who if anyone on here can get the stuff cheap or has it for sale:

For gaming, AMD seems to have the edge. what speed? as quick as u can afford i have 3.0 ghz P4 and i run the newest games in high res no problems. Dual core: not worth it (yet)
Graphics card, i can recommend the XFX Geforce 7900GT XXX. Just got one myself today and man it is quick...
Motherboard, i always use ASUS and never had problems.
1gb of DDR400 at least LOL

HTH

i agree, dont bother with dual core.

2gb will help for games, most of the new stuff (quake4, BF2 etc) loves to eat memory

a nice AMD64 (single core) shoulddo nicely.

if you're really flush go for the FX series, theyve got a nice ammount of on-die cache and run so much better than their equally clocked competitors.

theyre not cheap tho

speed wise i was thinking around 3.5-4ghz.

ok, wont bother with dual core.

2gb it is then.

so which mobo?

where a good place to buy?
