Little-Miss Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 Ok people, feeling indecisive and lazy. Considering building myself another pc at some point so i've just been browsing the web seeing whats out there. I just cant make a decision! I think i want it to be an all rounder... Dont want it to cost the earth (ha!)...but want it to be able to do some video editing, website design and pretty decent with games. Mission impossible? Got an recommendations...
john Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 Core2Quad Q6600 can be had for around £160 Gigabyte Motherboard is also good 2GB Ram Lots of nice storage for the video editing, Seagate for make - 5 year warranty on nearly all of the current range of drives they do, and IF it fails you just sent it within the UK for them to replace no european shipping costs.

Little-Miss Posted October 13, 2007 Author Posted October 13, 2007 Sounds like a very nice bit of kit!... OMG! 1 TB!!! I like Gigabyte boards... Thanks for the link too...
john Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 It sure is a nice bit of kit, shame my work PC isn't quite this well speced but hey ho.
PeterW Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 Only 2GB of ram? If you are thinking about Vista 64 then 4GB would be worth while as its so darn cheap at the moment.

If you are thinking about Vista 64 then 4GB would be worth while as its so darn cheap at the moment.It wasn't when I got this setup, that ram cost about £85, DDR2 has price crashed since then. I will probably look at adding another 2gb to it though as it does make a difference to its running. A nice feature of this motherboard is its DDR2 and DDR3 supporting (not both at the same time) but has that little bit of futureproofing in it.
