Sooze's shiny new PC: yay or nay?
soozelwoozel:
Ah, that's my bad I'm afraid. I just copypastad from the site. All the parts on the list that are followed by -------- are components I'm not getting. I already use Avast, Open Office etc.
crunk:
How much are they charging you for the monitor? You may be able to pick something up cheaper locally - remember, most flatscreen tvs will double as monitors and give you the option of TV. If you substitute a tv for the monitor, you could also drop the digital TV tuner altogether unless you really want to record tv or something.
Zazazu:
I personally hate widescreen monitors with a passion. Do you have one now or have you had experience with one? I'd try one before spending anything on it.
Ditto on ditching Vista.
J. M. Pescado:
Given your particular hardware configuration, I would actually go against the grain here and recommend you acquire Vista or Win7, but NOT pay for it: XP64 is noted for its terrible driver support, and with > 4 GBs of System + VRAMs, you need to be using 64bit. But DEFINITELY DO NOT GIVE MONEY TO MICROSOFT.
soozelwoozel:
Gotcha. That'll save me a few squid then. I'll probably go for Windows 7, as I'd no doubt be upgrading to it later anyway.
