I have decided to build a gaming PC, this is what I have decided to include in my custom build PC:
1. PC Case - ATX Computer Gaming PC Case With 600W PSU
2. Motherboard - ASUS Crosshair IV Formula AM3 AMD 890FX
3. CPU/Processor - AMD Phenom II X6 1090T - 3.2 GHz - AM3 Socket (HDT90ZFBGRBOX) + Hyper TX3 CPU Fan + Artic Silver 5 Thermo Paste - 3.5 g Syringe
4. Hard Drive - Hitachi Deskstar 7k3000 3TB 3.5†SATA III 6GBS 64MB 7200RPM
5. DVD-RW DL Drive - Sony Optiarc AD-7260B 24x DVD±RW & DL SATA Optical Drive
6. Memory Modules/Sticks - Corsair Memory XMS3 8GB DDR3 2000 Mhz Dual Channel Desktop
7. Video Card – PNY Quadro NVS 295 256MB GDDR3 – DVI, DisplayPort 16x PCI-E OEM Graphics Card
8. Operating System – Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
_______________________________________________________________________
I figured out it would roughly cost £730 to build this, I just want a top notch PC that's all up to date and will handle all latest PC games and just run smoothly and that will not need hardware upgrades every few months or whatever. I have no problems what-so-ever with software, just hardware I tend to hesitate with. Have I gone over the top here with the specs? Could anyone advise me or give me a list of parts/names/prices to build the PC I want?
