Now, I'll mainly be using this for gaming.
The only things I know what I'm looking at is the Memory, Video card and HDD's.
Everything else I'm oblvious what to get or do about it.
Would this be a good gaming machine.. ? I want to be set for a few years at least.
I'll be ordering it from a local shop here, from the parts on the site, I'm not sure what exactly I should get.
Also, should I get windows Vista home.. ? I've heard I'd take a hit in the FPS department in games such as WoW, and even crashing others.
But chances are I won't upgrade for another long while and, is it worth getting or just wait the years till' the next upgrade?
I have Windows XP Home & Pro already.
With the parts on that site, should I go for more? I'm not sure what I should put on a cash limit, but I guess go for something good.
Also, explain some of the important parts and such please, thanks. D:
