Hello, well since my last thread knocked down to 2nd page I decided to make a new thread for this
[QUOTE=Neddy;18108182]Hey well I know this ain't PC building but whatever it seems to fit best here.
Well I have £650 to waste for xmas so I thought I purchased my self a new PC as my current one is getting abit outdated.
[B]Current Specs:[/b]
Intel Quad Core 2.4ghz Q6660
2GB Of DDR2 667mhz ram
Geforce 8500 GT
250GB Storage
Lightscribe 20X DVD+/-RW
[b]What I am thinking of getting:[/b]
Intel i7 920 2.66ghz
6GB of DDR3 1600 MHZ ram
500GB Storage
Lightscribe 20X DVD+/-RW
ATI HD 4670 1GB
Thinking of getting it from here : [url]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/INTEL-Core-i7-920-6GB-1600Mhz-500GB-ATI-4670-1GBCM_W0QQitemZ120480289570QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Computing_DesktopPCs?hash=item1c0d2f5322[/url]
Soo.. besides the graphics (which ain't THAT great) is it worth it ?
(oh and before anyone complains about it being 'ebay' my current machine is bought from the same people and works to this very day^^)[/QUOTE]
That was my last idea but I found out that i7's don't effect gaming as much as I thought it would so I decided to scrap that and just stick with my Intel Quad core and overclock it to 3.0ghz
Just like to check if these parts are good for the prices
