Wow mate that actually pretty much sums up what I'm after!!

Well I'll be getting money for this next month, so when I do I'll have to hit you up with a few PM's if you don't mind.
Thanks!

Opt for an i5 instead of an i3.. Twill be great for ya Victoire


RE: Need help buying a PC. - Fragma - 02-25-2011

I think I'm actually going for an i7.

My suggestion: Don't go for a apple computer. I've had one, and I like the PC most. You can customize it the way you want it, and if you do ever customize it, the cost might be cheaper then buying a full set with the specs already in place.



RE: Need help buying a PC. - Fragma - 02-25-2011

I've got an Apple mac, and I use them all the time at college. They're very good. But I do prefer PC's.

Which is why I think I'm just going to build my own.

FYI the i5 sandy bridge will be faster than most i7s, especially setup for an OC. A couple MB less in the L3 cache but that's no big deal, the i7 sandy bridge is a touch faster though, at 3.4GHz.
