hi,

I'm not really up to date with todays cpu's, vid cards and memory. Ii want to buy /build a new pc. I got several options:

A) Buy a all-in system:

B) Assemble one myself
I dont got any components i can recycle, only the creative xfi, monitor, mouse and keyboard etc :P I'm not going to order stuff online, I like forcom + its a lot easier when i need to use the waranty :P

Any advice would be appreciated :P

Almost like my comp but I have hd4870 + antec sonata III with 500W antec earthwatts PSU.

It cost me under 750€ 8D

edit: imo some cheaper RAM would be enough too!
