G'day you blokes,
As you will probably realise by my username I have been around a long time and have been playing with PC's since Noha was a boy. However, I have never built one myself prefering to by "off the shelf". Now is the time for me to make an attempt and build my own pc. I will list the specs I am thinking of and would really welcome views from you younger guys who will know ultimately tonnes more than me.
So, here we go:
Mother board: Gigabyte GA EP45 DS4P
CPU:Core 2 Quad Q6600
Cooler: Zalman CNPS9700LED
Ram: 2GB 800 X 2, maybe + 2
Hard Drive: Seagate 1TB
Graphics: ATI HD4850
PSU: Corsair HX 520W
Vista premium 64 bit
Logitech Z2300 speakers
24" monitor HD, etc - recmomned manufactuer please.
Use original case, all the new stuff should fit.
Disc drives from current machine until Blue Ray.
All up about 2,500 AUD ish.
Well, what do you blokes reckon, has the old boy got it right or is there better value for money??
Thanks in advance for any help.
Cheers.
