New Rig - Long Life, Some Gaming
Hey everyone,
I'm looking into buying a new computer for myself, my old one has been making do for 5 - 6 years now and needs a total refresh.
Basically I would like to be able to run some games (COD MW2 mainly) and then just want a good live from it is all. The components I've been looking at are:
CASE: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-049-LL&groupid=701&catid=7&subcat=
CPU: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CP-301-IN
Motherboard: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-363-AS
Power Supply: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-008-CS
Memory: 4GB (2x2GB) Crucial DDR3 1333MHz/PC3- Ballistix
Hard drive: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-082-SA&groupid=701&catid=14&subcat=1279
Graphics Card: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-139-XF&tool=3
CPU Cooler: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-029-CM
The main criteria has been to keep it at around £800, I need an nvidia card because I do a lot of work on Linux platform and linux is support better by nvidia. Although the graphics card I've selected says it supports "extreme HD" screen resolution of 2560x1600, I have 2 1440x900 monitors - is this going to be all OK?
The memory I've already bought second hand.
Also planning on getting Akasa apache fans to keep the system as quiet as possible, number of them will depend on whether people think I should get them for CPU and the number for the case.
Is there anything blindingly wrong with the components I've picked?
Cheers,
Matt
