just looking at large for a 2nd opinion on my future gaming computer that i'll probably order sunday or monday
my budget for the 4 key components of a gaming rig: roughly 1500$ aka 1200 euros aka 1000 quid
-CPU
-RAM
-MOBO
-Graphic card (if fans/heatsinks are needed they are not counted in the price limit)
im just not totally sure how much to spend on the graphic card vs the processor/mobo/ram i want a beastie graphic card but i fear that if i spend say 1000$ on the graphic card the processor/mobo/ram i can get with 500$ will endup slowing my system down and "waste" the graphic card
anyway i hope you get the idea
if you make a submission for these 4 components and I end up choosing it, you win 20 quids/euros via paypal! (the sooner the better as once i do order it's obviously too late)
extra notes: i'll be running air cooling only, windows 7, im not really interested in SLI nor in 3d, noise isnt really an issue, and i plan to keep this stuff for at least 4 years
not sure if computer pieces prices vary a lot from country to country but sites in NA would be preferred for submissions (i think ncix.com in canada has the best prices and it has a lot of stuff available)
also my "default" option is currently here http://thrall.ordis.org/NCIX.pdf possibly with different slightly more expensive ram as mym suggested
