Well I've decided to 'pep-up' my current PC rather than spent loads of money on a new one... I've rebuilt it once recently adding a 120Gb SSD for windows to live on meaning it now boots up in under 20 seconds
I also added the second gfx card I bought a while back with is now working perfectly fine in glorious SLI
and got my sound card re-installed & working today too.
I've just decided to buy a i7 960 processor from ebay for £62 which will boost it from 2.66gHz to 3.2gHz, that will arrive in time for the PC to be rebuilt again before the LAN.
Costs:
2nd GFX card: £175
SSD + Cable & adapter: £65 (these are SO cheap these days!!)
Processor: £62
Total: £302
(about 10% of what I was considering spending)
Happy Days
