Desktop with a e8400 one a asus board with a cheep aftermarket maybe arctic cooler 7 or something like that. Then get a 9800 vid card to take care of your graphics. All in all it will take cost you about 600 if you throw in a 22 inch moniter. Unless you feel like you want to go with the new i7 then you will use all your 1200.

For like $500 I got:
Asus M2N-MX-SE Plus Mobo AMD Athlon 64x 5500+ 2.6ghz Scythe Mini-Ninja CPU Cooler (Kicks so much ass, good price too) 4GB Kingston Hyperx 1066Mhz DDR3 RAM Nvidia 9600GT 1GB PCI-E SLI-Ready LG 19" widescreen 160GB WD HDD Sata 320GB WD HDD Sata Saitek Illuminated Keyboard Logitech G5 wired mouse Logisys shitty power supply but it looks cool, definitely cant wait for it to go out. Desktop is the way to go unless you're in college in which case I would get the laptop first and build a rig later. I think this would be a good laptop for you: Here Maybe you could take of the Blu-Ray player BS and get it a bit cheaper to throw some money into some other upgrades. If i was buying a laptop, that'd be the one... |
