[help][question] Builidng New Pc

Hi Guys, how are you all today? Well I hope!

I was thinking about building a new PC and just wanted to hear your Ideas on what Spec I should get, I live in the UK so I don't know if you guys (wherever you are in the world you are) have newer/better or different things.

Thank you very much, your help is most appreciated.

it depends on what the usage of the computer will be... video, games, general usage,etc... one of the main things to make sure you get is plenty of ram... ram, ram, ram... this is the one of the biggest performance differences you can make. after that, the parts you put into it, depends on as i said, what you're going to use it for.

how much are you going to spend, what do you want it to be able to do?

hmm, thought I posted this but maybe not, or it was deleted, if this was the case, feel free to delete again.

Max the ram, and hook it up with one of the newer 10,000 rpm drives, p4 with HT and you will be set

10k rpm drives are expensive compared to standard 7200 rpm out there and loud. If you're just a regular desktop user there is absolutely no reason to justify that kind of purchase. You can get 2x-3x the space, and still utilize SATA technology (if you so desire) with a minimal loss of access speed which you will probably not notice unless you've already been pampered with SCSI.

p4 with HT...stoopid. get amd 64 3200+....cheap and good.

Thank you very much guys, okay sorry maybe I should have been more specific, what I would really like is a machine that can run high end games very well and that I can do work on, also another thing that gets on my nerves is how slow computers can be (especially CD ROM etc Drives).
