    Hi guys,

    I think my Dell 8300 is due an upgrade so I'm going to buy the parts and assemble as best I can (any problems and I'll head down to my local PC store). I've attached a list of the parts I've selected. Any additions/ alternatives required?

    Well the question is what do you want to do with your new pc?

    Any particular software or games?
    And if there are games, what resolution screen will you be playing them on?

    Well I guess I want to have the option for PC games (the new Stars of the Old Repulic for example) but I would imagine that most gaming will be still done on my 360 & PS3.

    Monitor wise I'll probably pick up a 1900x1080.

    I'd probably go for a lower powered PSU, 650W will be overkill for that setup

    Probably buy a cooler for your CPU and clock it as most C2Ds were good clockers (if you want to go down that path of course)

    It might be a good idea to go with PC8500 Ram as well if you are clocking.

    Finally, since you are getting 4GB of Ram make sure you have a 64-bit OS.
