Budget?
at least core 2 duo for now, or if u want can wait for the p55
with the core i5
i will say get the i5 or i7, the ones with the hyper threading
tech.
actually intel and amd both have good processor that can
perform, i am not so interested in amd now becos i find the way
they name their motherboard confusing. but i still support intel
maybe because of influence
for gaming pc also need to get a true power powersupply(PSU), a
450w true/real/pure power psu is diff from a standard rated power
psu.
mobo just get a normal one with 6 or more sata if u are running
a few hdd. also look at the mobo before buying, some are badly
designed that the sata potrs are covered by the graphics card, or
the pci express slots are so close to each other that u can only
run single slot cards in crossfire. p45s are quite popular now for
mainstream systems. x58s are for the gaming section
graphics card can look for those with nonref. cooling, esp if u
L> high performance cards
sometimes shop will tell u to crossfire, like buying 2 4770 and
cf, but u need to get a mobo which can have their pci express slot
running both x16 when on crossfire, if not both running @ x8 might
hinder performance, but that means the mobo will be ex
graphics card these few months like nothing outta the ordinary,
i tink ati still more bang for the buck
rams get the normal ddr2-800 @ 6-6-6-18 or ddr2-800 @ 5-5-5-12
will do, unless u are going to squeeze out all the performance, go
for those ddr2-1066. in short, get the ram with fast core clock and
low timing
dvd drive just get those with writer , 30-40 dollar if i not
wrong
too lazy to retype everything, im off to edmw
