I haven't upgraded my pc in god knows how long & have no idea anymore what is advised CPU/Graphics/RAM/anythingwise any more. Glancing at my current setup I have P4 3.00GHz (2 CPUs), 2 gigs of ram (not sure what speed) and a Radeon X800GT gfx card. I have a number of Hdd's but all are SATA not ssd.
I last used my pc for gaming a long long time ago and it has mostly since been used just for web browsing & work but opening Excel and Office are painfully slow, i gave up on video editing a while back and I would like to start playing the odd game on it now & then.
I have no idea what to get however or if it is worth getting a pre built one from ocuk or getting the parts & building it myself (having not done so in many many years). Ironically I am not particularly bothered about overclocking & don't want the faff of watercooling (although a machine running quieter than the current one would be nice). I would like to future proof it ideally and would be buying it through my ltd company as I will be using it for work so can spend upwards of a grand fairly happily or a bit more. I have mostly been browsing the Titan Builds on ocuk to get an idea but thought I would post here for some more specifics if you guys can help.
I know the above is a bit vague but in short, ideas/specs/prebuild link (along with any suggested modifications) for a new rig that will be silly quick for normal browsing/office work & have more than a decent bit of poke for a bit of gaming.
