Ok guys, most of the system is sorted now, I went for a 3700 with the LANParty mobo suggested, an M-Audio Revolution 5.1 and an X800XT. The only thing im still having problems with is the RAM. Here is my dilemma: I can either buy This 2 Gig Matched Pair which is PC3200 but still apparently pretty go...

It's all about space quest! The space quest adventure games were quirky, fun and sometimes pretty challenging. Although the undisputed king by far is monkey island and monkey island 2. "They call me Cap'n Loogie"!

I am faced with a quandry. Do I take a performance hit on the Processor (trade down a 3800 for a 3500) in order to justify spending more on the RAM. Those OCZ sticks really do seem to be the way to go, but they dont come cheap. I havent ever been into overclocking before, but i can see myself gettin...

Such brilliant responses! Please guys, fantasise away. I cancelled the monitor order and can still get it cheap in the next few days.

Hehehe, i've been waiting for the opportunity to get some hardware for ages, I remember boasting about my Pentium 2 in a chatroom years ago and getting stares of awed reverance :). 2Gig of RAM it is, the savings from the dual Xeon are really substantial. Now can anyone suggest the best Athlon 64 380...

Great stuff, thanks guys. To be fair to him, the first guy probably figured i was more into the video editing than the blatant playing of Counter-Strike. Everything else he sugessted was exactly as y'all put forward. A small fast raptor backed up by a beefy barracuda seems to be the 'badger'. Is 1gi...

Hail, fellow geeks, gamers and web based entities of consciousness! I'ts been absolutely ages since I last had the cash availiable to buy a real gaming PC. Now, happily I do, and I have around £1,300 to spend on a brand new system. I've got two friends who both think they know exactly what they're d...
