Been playing around with a spec for a week or two- aiming for £2000 but seems just a liitle more may be worth it- but where do you stop?
Seem happy with ASUS P6X58D, 12GB DDR3, 1536 NVidea GTX480
Twin iTB Caviar SATA 6 Gb/s
24 dual layer and blu-ray writer
Extra 2 x USB3- Firewire
Ultimate 7 64 bit
The missing link it seems is the processor- Think it should be i7 but there the thoughts stop- quad core 930- add a bit for the 960 or go to a 6 core. Not a gamer- haven't yet found the time so if only advantage of 6 core is multi tasking maybe that isn't necessary?
Would I see a £200 benefit from the 960 3.2 GHz do you think?
A decision taken only every so many years so trying to get it right.
ANy guidance appreciated.
Thanks guys
