All these recommendations, and no one has asked what will its main function will be.

Isn't that a bit like walking into PC (Hell)World and saying I wanna buy a PC - and people wonder why they get stiched up.

Of course if money is no object then get the most mhz/mem/disk space currnetly available, otherwise it surely makes sense to consider the use its put to, to make better targeted purchases

I believe there are - must seem like heracy to some I know- but there are poor souls hunched over hot word processors, others thrown into spreadsheet cells with no hope of release

Anyway I'm sure you get my point - using the Ferrari (what do you mean you don't have a Ferrari, went over budget on the PC then eh!) to do the shopping might be fun but not the best tool for the job.

Tongue firmly in cheek

It's a family PC for work, email, internet.

BUT :mad: I'll be damned if I'm going to put up with laggy, not max resolution gaming:mad: anymore!!!

And I desgined this spec myself so I think it's quite obvious it is for gaming -unless I've done something wrong and not realised it.:eek:

More ram, Soltek NForce board, Athlon CPU and I would personally go for the NVidia graphics solution...

and get the ram as 2 sticks so you can take advantage of the dual channel DDR option on the Soltek board (which can handle 3Gb of DDR400 in dual channel mode)
