My current PC is about 4 years old and has an AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600+ with 3GB DDR2 RAM and a Geforce 9600GT so I cant wait to see what the difference in performance will be like.
I would have liked to get an SSD but this pushed it over my budget and wasnt essential, im hoping the WD Drive will be more than adequate. I did hear that a new SSD comes out next month though, may be tempted to get one when I have the money.
Im not an overclocker but thought id go for the K version as I can consider it in years to come, just nice to know I can if I wish. Plus went for the 850W so i can SLI the GTX570 at a later date.
It will be used mainly for gaming, AutoCAD and Google Sketchup Rendering.
Cant wait for it to enter building. Thanks all for reading
