New System Advice Needed
Hello everyone,
I've been away from the scene for a few years now. haven't been keeping up with whats new and such. I've done a little bit of reading up and come up with some new ideas.
With Starcraft 2 just around the corner and my inability to raid in World of Warcraft due to a crappy computer, i've decided to start putting together some ideas for a new system.
In the past, posters here were very helpful identifying potential problems and suggesting cheaper options with loads of future scaling ability! I'm hoping for more of the same. I have been partial to Intel and nVidia in the past but if other options are clearly better bang for buck, plz do let me know.
anyway, this is what I have though of so far.
