    Hi All,

    I am looking at getting a new PC. Its main function will be gaming and some work related stuff (photoshop and other applications).

    My existing machine has died. So I need to get somethgin soonish.

    Anyway any suggestions would be welcome.....

    1. What is your budget? [€1000]

    2. What will be the main purpose of the computer? [Gaming workstation]

    3. Do you need a copy of Windows? [Yes]

    4. Can you use any parts from an old computer? Yes see below.
    [4 no. hard drive all 1TB, Hitachi and samsung eSata. I dont need to house all the HDD, although it would be handy if there was a hot swap module]
    [1 no. 120GB Crucial SSD]
    [1 generic DVD]
    [6GB of RAM Kingston]
    [2 no. Samsung Mointors]
    [Mouse]

    7. Are you willing to try overclocking? [Yes - In the future]

    8. How can you pay? [Credit Card]

    9. When are you purchasing? [about 1 week]

    10. If you need help building it, where are you based? [Maybe. I am based in Dublin so if you want to give me a price I would appreciate it]

    Some other Wish list items.
    Should I consider a modular PSU or hybrid. Not too sure of the output I will need as I will be hooking up all those HDD. Maybe someone can help.
    Also looking for a MB that is water cooler compatible. I want it quite.
    I will need a new CASE. Want a fairly cool looking one if possible.


    Thanks,
