I'm a graphic designer who multitasks a lot (i.e open photoshop, illustrator, dreamweaver, bridge) at the same time... and later on i will be doing some 3D rendering work. I also play games on my spare time. Need to upgrade my hunk of junk! 1400mhz 256mb <-- 7 year old comp.
Got enough money to buy a computer on the weekend! But I'm just stuck at what motherboard to buy... any tips please?
I think i will get these:
Q6600 CPU
640MB 8800 GTS
500GB 7200rpm
3x1GB Corsair 667mhz
Okay well, I was wondering should I get the P5k asus or the P5k-E or the GA-P35. Now I have heard the P5k-E can overclock better but i will have to blow another AU$70.
I will have standard cooling in my computer though, so I think I would only go to about 2.6ghz anyway on the q6600 right?
Another thing, should I stay with 640MB 8800 GTS or go with 320MB 8800 GTS? OR blow another AU$100 or so for a GTX?
Also , a store clerk recommended the BFG nForce mobos , I wonder if these are good?
Thanks for any good advice.
