Hello, so another one of my friends is coming down from the US on 7th Aug, which means he will want to have all the stuff by the 5-6th of Aug.
He is off to SFO and Hawaii, he said I can order the stuff, and when they are back after 10 days, he can pick it up from the local post office, guys from US pls tell if thats how it works?!
Now to my upgrade, you can see my current system from my sig, jus replace the 1900XT with a Diamond 4850, my requirements, online gaming, love my TF2, Movies, browsing, also like to try out latest games on my comp...jus to see how they look, really dont have that much time to play em all. I have a 22' game at 1680x1050 resolution.
This is the stuff I have shortlisted pls feel free to pour in ur thoughts positive/negative.
CPU- E8500 / Q6600 / Q9450, really thing the 8500 is too tempting at the current price point, for some reason I wanna get a Quad, really confusing, tho I dont think the Q9450 justifies its price tag ATM.
Mobo- Asus P5Q Deluxe/ Gigabyte EP45 DS4 (also having thots abt the x48 based mobo's)
Ram - I am a Corsair loyalist, but with Funky's reco on the Gskill/OCZ dont mind trying them out, will get the 4gb kits, the dominators do come at a premium.
Gfx- this is the real tough one, I know for my requirements my current 4850 will do just fine, but I wanted the 4870 from the begining could not get it due to lack of availability at that time, so do I get the 4870, or another 4850? or the Gtx 280?
Let the comments begin.
TIA
Cheers
