    Default New computer....

    Ok, so I've been putting together my specs for a new PC, and come up with the following list of components.

    Is there anyone here who is tech-savvy enough to tell me if they should all work together? I've done a fair amount of research and think that this should be a fairly good system (for my budget), but I'd be interested to hear everyone's opinions.

    Yes, I know that it's not top of the line, but I'm upgrading from a piece of sh-t and don't have a lot to spend. Still, if you think I'm wasting money on a cheap component, then you're welcome to advise.

    Cheers y'all.

    The only things that bothers me in that list is the 9500gt. I would change it unless you're not into the latest games/gaming alot or heavy editing.

    That card will require an update sooner or later anyways.

    I should update this but all my effort went into writing this lousy excuse.
