do you play lots of games or just some & are ok with medium settings or do you want high settings?

an do you want to stay with AMD or would you be ok using intel?

 

[DaveBennett]

I play a few games, Battlefield 2 etc. But would be nice to eventually play games like the new GTA etc.

And I really dont mind, I use AMD at the moment and build them all the time for customers, but am perfectly happy with intel.

Cheers,

Dave

You could consider this or change the motherboard to Biostar TSeries TA790GX 128M £78.19 - which will save you £12 + give you the option of having crossfire if you want that in the future
