The time has come to work towards replacing my pc. It is a P4 3.2ghz, Nvidia 6600GT, 2 gig ram. Performs ok, but it's getting on a bit. It's socket 478 and AGP LOL. So I thought long and hard, and decided to pass on Adelaide and I bargained with the Minister of Finance for this project. It will be a PC that will play not only my current games, but a few future ones as well.
So the hunt began for some components that would be as new as possible, and yet not carry the current price tag. 1st purchase was a new Mobo, a Gigabyte GA-P35T-DQ6. A board that supports everything I need, all the way to the recently released 45nm based processors. These retail for around $300 plus, and I got mine for $207 (30days old). Next was ram, and as this mobo only supports DDR3, it was going to cost. I found a 2gig kit of Kingston HyperX DDR3 1375mhz for $400. Normally $600 plus. The progress so far.      |
