It's a bit more than I wanted to spend, but most of the components are fairly decent the case should have more than enough cooling, power, and run fairly silent. I'll have to use my old monitor and keyboard, and possibly soundcard, but at least I have a GeForce 1GB GTX 560ti card to plug in when I get the system. Can anyone give me advice on how to OC MB/cooler, as it's been a very long time since I even looked at how to do it?
It's a shame I had to settle for a 6 core in stead of 8, but just can't stretch the budget anymore. In future when I have some spare cash again I will probably get a new monitor, additional GFX card to run 2, upgrade the RAM, and maybe a speed HD. Computer advancements have to start slowing down soon right?
Anywhoo, cheers for the advice guys, hopefully see those who are playing SWTOR in game soon.
