Hey, decided not to wait for nahalem due to the fact i can't play any games on my computer right now since i upgraded my screen.
This is what I HAVE:
Case: Thermaletake Armor+ Full Tower
PSU: Thermaltake Toughpower 700W
HDD: WD cavier 640gb
CD: LG W/ Securedisc
Monitor: 22" Samsung
This is what I NEED:
GPU
CPU
MB
Ram
The video card I want is the 4870, and i'll go xfire when i upgrade in feb.
With this build i'll prob run 2gbs of ram.
My questions has to do with the CPU/MB, what do you guys think is the best bang for the money, keep in mind upgrading in feb. and i don't want to throw tons of money into this, but don't want to hinder the performance too much due to what I want to spend.
Also I plan on building a computer from my leftover parts when i upgrade which means i'll need to buy 2 operating systems, what do you think the best OS for this will be? i don't need 64bit do I? and Xp or Vista?
Thanks guys, I appreciate the help again =P
