Howdy
Alittle over 5 months ago i though id take it upon myself to build a PC myself, which thanks to the MANY well written articles on this very site, i succeeded!
Bearing in mind that i had VERY little understanding of the hardware, although im just getting my head around RAM timing's and such, and slowly but surly getting into overclocking everything, which is strangly addictive.
But, its been awhile and i think i may need to few updates, so im looking for a few ideas how to improve things alittle.
One big thing i hardly ever play games on it, but i ave seen a few games that i might be interested in.
This is my current spec
Intel Pentium 4 640 "LGA775 Prescott" 3.2GHz
Sapphire ATI Radeon X800 GT 256MB
GeIL 2GB (4x512MB) PC5300 667MHz Value DDR2 Dual Channel Kit
Abit AW8-MAX Intel 955X (LGA775) PCI-Express Motherboard
Akasa Eclipse-62 Aluminum Case
Western Digital Caviar Special Edition 200GB 2000JS SATA-II 8MB Cache
Western Digital Caviar SE16 320GB 3200KS SATA-II 16MB Cache
Seagate 120GB SATA II 8MB Cache
Antec TruePower 2.0 430W PSU
Zalman CNPS7700-CU Ultra-Quiet CPU
Panasonic SW-9584-CF 16 x 16 DVD±RW Dual Layer ReWriter
Linksys WMP54G Wireless-G PCI Adapter (NW-003-LS)
Akasa AK-183-L2B Ultra Quiet 120mm Fan - 3 pin (FG-024-AK)
Akasa All-In-One 21 Function Panel
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Fatal1ty FPS Edition
I know i didnt need to list everything, its just much easier to copy and paste everything.
Was looking at the...
HIS Excalibur ATI Radeon X1800 GTO ICEQ3 SILENT TURBO 256MB GDDR3
...as a possible upgrade, yes? no?.sorry to be such a noob, but ive always got good info from here.
Plus to ad the excellant service (even when i needed a faulty bit replaced), from OC's.
Any help appreciated.
