Hi there, first post on this forum so be kind lol.
Right, I'm making a new PC from scratch just as a gaming rig, from the items I've listed below can anyone see any problems between items or can think of anything better/cheaper for the same amount.
Not really wanting to spend much more than the £1250, but would a low end duel core AMD be better than a 4k+?
Is it worth me getting the 32bit version of the Asus mother board?
Can get both Gold/Plat OCZ ram at about the same price, which is better for overclocking? since I'm hearing mixed reviews.
Ohh and before people surgest getting two low end cards instead of one high spec one, I'm wishing to later on get a 2nd card aswell as a more powerfull CPU
