Also if its worth it buying a 64-bit processor yet?

Not being funny or disrespectful ... but I don't see a motherboard listed.

Without a motherboard the rest is useless. ;)

and alas the stupid idiots on the other PC havent listed the motherboard, omg i admit it http://uk.aldi.com/special_buys/product_111.html

Too complicated? If you have built your on in the past you should be fine m8.
Not much more to it to be honest. It seems a little more daunting because of all the extra hardware like PCI-E coming out. But it aint honest ;)
 
i built a pc about 7 or 8 years ago... it had 266mhz proc, 20 gig hd ( i think, i long since binned this)

well anyways my point is that then all u had to decide was processor...intel.... easy enough... graphics card ( hahahah, u had a massive choice in the ninties of about 3 ahh voodoo, 3dfx)

32 meg of ram and a shitty 20 gig HD, powersuply, shity box!! even motherboards where simpler then wtf is a Asus A8kvbit 9XÁë............................................( that goes on for sum time)

anyways i get annoyed at companies (like AMD, INTEL, ATI, ASUS) who sit there and give each product a silly amount of names numbers and letters and then theres all that SuperSmooth™ UltraHard™ bull**** there must be ATLEAST 100 different graphics cards come on the market in the last year from different chipset makers.....
....right getting bitter now, sorry :)
to be honest i might aswell let sum1 else do it.....i get like that every time i start looking at building my own...
 
Yeah i understand m8. It can be a little worrying sometimes. However just think of it like this; If you dont start now and begin to build up you knowledge at present then you really are gonna be lost in the future when we all have 5 terabyte crystal storage devices. Running in 256bit machines on a optical light array ;)
 
lol..... i suppose ure right........
ever heard of Quantum physics...... lol that will own.... 128 bit encryption broken in the smallest fraction of time
2020.... so they say

2Gb DDr400
160 gig s-ata
16x dvd

after reading this im confused as hell................
any help would be nice... :)
i have a montior or 5 lying around house sumwheres....
 
How much is that going to set you back m8 ?!


When i build my pc soon hopefully i am going to build it around the FX55 :) I love that !!! hehe

:P
 
hmm... you folks from the U.K have plenty of cash dont you!!:p
 
i work hard for my money (my union keeps saying).......
anyways.......

omg about 1,800 for wots there, rough estimate!
save money on not having things like card readers, dvd writters etc.... gaming pc more than anythink
it maybe expensive but its future proof... for about 6 months
