Sounds awesome How much is it costing?

[Saundie]

That's a nice PC you've got yourself, I don't like the case but that's just personal preference... the E6600 + 8800GTX combo is crisp, you will be very happy with it :)

[THEONEANDONLY]

Its a Q6600 not an E6600 2x more goodness:)lol

[Saundie]

Hahaha, turns out I can't read :)

i suggest getting the 64bit vista edition cos if u want to upgrade ur ram in future, 32bit os has the 2gb ram limit.

I am pretty sure its a 3GB limit, but dunno.

OH, edit:

Not a good choice for a mouse (for gaming anyways, far too expensive and tedious setup I presume.)
but thats from a gaming perspective. due to the weird scroll thing on the thumb area.
also confident that it has no DPI changer.

^^ You don't really need a gaming mouse at all. You won't get better at the game anyway. Just picks one that feels good.

Nice comp other than that.

[AllFoamNoBeer]

^^ I disagree, I have got a 3% better accuracy using my Razer compared to a standard mouse, but each to his own.

somewhere ard that no, point is, there's a limit n if he's going to get a new os, might as well go for the 64bit.

[altamash_rah]

I would return that MX revolution mouse, bad reviews on it, get your self a cheaper but really bad *** logitech G5, the new ones with the blue lines on it, great mouse for gaming!

[Uncleadolph]

Aye, don't get the MX revolution. It is poor for gaming. Its great if you're an office worker and you need to scroll through lots of pages of stuff. But if you want to game, get the G5.

And get 64bit Vista, you'll be peed off later as you can't utilise that extra 2GB RAM you just bought.

[Aedus]

Ahhh too late now!

I like this mouse to be fair, it's really nice and fits around my hand perfectly, admittedly it did take me a few hours to get used to. Lol.

I'll stick with 32bit vista for now, and when some other new games come out that need more RAM I'll buy another HDD and put 64 bit on that, then I can have both :]

I'm gonna have 3 HDD total, 1 for XP, 1 for 32 vista and 1 for 64 vista.

Sounds awesome How much is it costing?

Total it was £1563

[AllFoamNoBeer]

I say, thats pretty cheap.
