I'm in the market for a new PC and am looking to spend over £1000.
It will be for games mostly (CS:S, HL2, Battlefield, etc....)
Question is, should I buy now or wait a month or two for something better?
Heres what I'm considering:
E6600
Corsair Dominator DDR2 1066 2GB
XFX 8800 GTX
Asus Striker - E
Antec 900
Coolmaster ixtreme 850w
Some of these parts have been around for nearly a year now, that is why I'm a little sceptical about buying an expensive computer only to be practically worthless 6 months down the line.
More questions!:
DDR2 or DDR3? Any real differences apart from price? =/
Also 2GB will be fine for running XP, won't it? Not bothered about Vista.
8800gtx? Is there anything better coming out soon before I fork out £300? I know about the ultra and superclocked models, but I can overclock a stock gtx myself right?
Any advise will be greatly appriciated!!!
