Can people point me in the right direction of what hardware is the best out for a new gaming rig?
Currently I have what you see in my Sig but i want to upgrade my CPU memory and motherboard. I havnt done this since around 2005 so im not sure where to start. To begin, whats the best overclocking gaming CPUs out there? AMD or Intel?
Plus a good motherboard to go with this and about 4-6Gb of RAM would be nice. From what i have seen DDR3 is quite the norm these days.
I currently have to go with this:
8800GTX
OCZ GameXstream 850w
X-Fi Fatal1ty FPS edition
35.5Gb Rator with Vista 64 and about 2Tb etc drive space
Antec p182
not too sure about the budget just looking at what is out there for time being but an ethusiast system would be nice that i wouldnt have to upgrade for another 4-5 years. I hope to overclcok it so i dont need the top of the range stuff
if people could just point me in the right direction ill do all the reading/reviewing myself and let you guys know what my final verdict is
thanks
EDIT: and one day I will get around to a solid state hard drive but waiting for prices to drop first
