I've been hanging onto the old desktop box for what seems years - Athlon XP 2600+ based system.
Anyhow it's time for me to go out and build a new PC - despite working in IT I haven't kept in touch with what's the goods in the retail PC market for a while..
What I'm looking at the moment is the following:
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450
Asus P5Q Pro Mainboard
Gskill 2x2GB kit DDR2 1066
2x Samsung 640GB HD642JJ HDD's (running in RAID 1)
Gigabyte 9600GT 512Mb
Pioneer SATA DVD/RW
all wrapped up in a Thermaltake Matrix case w/- 430 watt PSU
I'm not a huge gameplayer (still play GP4 with the 2007 season update on it though) so blistering graphics arent a huge priority - I will be doing some video editing though
Any thoughts on the above? If all goes to plan I'm going to head out and get it all in a day or so.
My budget is around A$1100 for the box....
