Post New Gaming Machine (PC) Advice Please Posted: Sat Jun 02, 2007 1:22 pm   
Here is the challenge, im currently looking for a new machine i only need the base unit as i have everything else, it needs to do 2 things to a very good degree.

1) pllay up to date games

2) loads of ram to support all the graphics and multi tasking i do...


Im not really concerned on HD space as i have a 500Gb external for all my files and backups

I would like a decent mother board with the option to add more ram at a later stage

Ideally have 2 DVD drives with loads of USB ports.

Thats it really ... budget wise around £1000 = $1980 could go a bit more depending on what it is...

I really don't know where to start to be honest, my current machine is 3 years old and whilst i have kept it upgraded i feel it is time to get a faster motherboard and ram.

Could some one n the know help me out please, with links or advise

Thanks

I know a site that breaks down how to look at buying a gaming rig for the non-technical masters:

http://www.build-gaming-computers.com/

Have pen and paper ready to write down specific details as you go along and have internet to check pricing and compatibility of your current components and what you would like.

The rig I am currently working on is a little higher than what you are looking at right now, but you may have some of the components that you are happy with already. I t would consist of:

AMD Athlon 64X2 6000+ dual/3.0 Ghz $249.99
Asus M2N32-SLI premium Vista dual core $203.99
Ultra 1024mb PC4200 DDR2 $49.99x4
Western Digital Raptor 150GB 10k RPM HD $199.99
Geoforce 8800 Ultra Vtreme $849.99
Creative Labs X-FI Xtreme sound card $139.99
Ultra blak Aluminus ATX mid-tower $149.99
Lite-on super multi DVD H20A1H $44.99
Lite-on 52x32x CD-R/RW $ 19.99
Logitech G15 KB $69.99
Logitech G5 mouse $43.99

Total of $2422.85

These are just about the best around right now without spending your retirement funds...

Can I suggest a quad core cpu and an Nvidia 8800 graphics cpu. They are amazing. Add to that a minumum of 2 Gig of fast ram and you are away.
