Hey. I’m looking to purchase a new pc this week. I have to buy it this week. I’m a little pressed for time so I need some advice. I bought my current pc in January of 2005 and I kind of got screwed. So I need some help to make sure my new pc will be a far better deal than the last one. Feel free to make any kind of suggestions and tell me your opinions. Any help is appreciated.

iPentium Q6600 CORE 2 QUAD 2.4G 8M 1066 MB: ASUS P5QL PRO LGA775 1600 4 GB RAM DDR2 800MHz ASUS GeForce9800GT 1Gb DD3 256bit HDD 500GB SATA II 7200rpm Looks pretty decent What kind of power supply will you be getting? The power supply unit in todays modern computer assumes a role probably more critical than any other single component in your system. A poor PSU can also cause other components to fail in your computer. The right Brand names = Quality Some approved Brand names follow... Seasonic - any model Corsair - any model Thermaltake - "Toughpower" series only Coolermaster - "Real Power Pro" series only PC Power & Cooling - any model Silverstone - any model
Thanks for the advice man. I don't know much about power supply, but thanks for pointing it out I will look into it.
A friend recommended this PC, what do you guys think: GeForce 9800GTX+, 512MB DDR3 256 bit, HDD 500GB Seagate 7200rpm 32MB SATA-II P5Q, LGA775, Intel P45 Corsair 4GB 800MHz TWIN2X4096-6400C5 20 DDR2 CM eXtreme Power 460W (RS-460-PCAPA3-EU) iPentium E8400 CORE 2 DUO 3.0G 6MB 1333
I have that processor in my new rig, and like it. Although the (brand name) list I gave you is not all inclusive...I am not able comment on the power supply...other than to say I believe the wattage is too low...I recommend a 600 watt or higher. Everything else looks pretty decent.
