hey,
Last night I was bored and started to think should i get a macbook/laptop or get another desktop, I would love to get both but at the mean time the most viable option is a desktop, and I might as well make it last Anyways heres a short list of components I got so far. My major concern is the PSU i had one blow up on me and Im pretty sure another one on the way, Whats the best psu for under 100£ good quality and will be able to run atleast 12 hours a day idle or even gaming without blowing up within a year. The CM case and psu is just there for cheapness haha. I want to got with a crossfire mobo as the 4850 cards are awesome and cheap so If i want i could always get another then itll make the system last a bit more. Ill add a quad core and ill maybe buy a better cooling fan and overclock it when I have a chance. So tell me what you think! Now im going to research monitors for this build, cheers
