Ahh long time no see fellas, been a few years now finally finished my Auto electrical trade and have been out of the scene for a while
So I'm looking at a new build have no idea where to start so if anyone could give me some opinions thatd be excellent.
Now i've always been a AMD fan but i've heaqrd recently they merged?, or bought another company i dunno havent done my research got told to stay away from them for a while? Your thoughts on this?
Anyway the computer will mostly be for gaming, and a media server for my playstation 3
Thanks,
P.s Good to see all the people from my day are still active. _________________ 1st Женя Award

Well i'll build the system over time, rather then rush out and buy parts straight away, so budget can be practically anything within reason i guess,
if we throw together some specs and ill look up prices ask for alternatives if i think its getting to pricey. _________________ 1st Женя Award

AMD bought ATI. You'll see more Crossfire AMD boards now than SLI, or boards that do both. I put Asus, Gigabyte, and MSI in that order. You'll need new everything, so budget at around a grand to $1500 for a top notch rig that'll last you a few years, _________________ Big enough to scare you |
