Hello all.
Not long ago my PC broke down and now im going to build myself a new one. Ive done some reading and i guess ill go for Intel.. probably a Core 2 Duo proc even tho theyre pretty expensive.. Im going to spend about 700-800 euros on the new PC. Ill need a mobo, proc, ram, video card, hdd and a PSU. Ill be using the pc mainly for surfing the net, downloading stuff and playing games.
First of all i need some advice on what mobo to get. I wont be doing any overlocking at first but after a while maybe ill want to do some. And i need good built in sound. Also i havent used anything with SATA support so i need to know what i should be looking for. And whats the difference between SATA and SATAII? And do the new mobos still support the old grey cables because id like to use both my old HDD wich doesnt have SATA and a new one with SATA.
Then wich of the core 2 duo procs are the best to get?
Then theres ram. Im thinking of getting a corsair kit of 2, not sure 1 or 2gb. Are those good? What speed would be best - 667 or 800? Is there a big difference between the speeds?
I have no idea what video card i should look for. Wich are better now geforce or radeon?
And finally i need a good PSU so i can leave my PC turned on over night. Probably some 500w one.
