My daughter is nagging me for a computer, so I'm thinking of giving her my current four year old one and buying a new one. I'm looking at the following config:
- Intel I7-860 CPU
- GA-P55A-UD4/P55chipset with USB3 & SATA3
- 4GB DDR3/1600 XMP Kit/Kingston
- 1GB DDR5 ATI HD5870/Sapphire
- 2X 1.5TB SATA2/64M Cache/7200 Western Digital HDD
- SATA Pioneer DL DVD+/-R/RW/DVR-218LBK
- Antec True power 850w PSU W/ Cable manager
- Coolermaster 590 case
- 24” Samsung 2443BW+ LCD w/ Height adjustment
- MS WIN7 Ultimate OEM
I'm not going for top of the line - just a good gaming machine that should last me another four or so years.
I'm not a hardware guru, so any thoughts on config welcome.
