    Old computer, new tech

    Ok, I'm gonna benchmark my new PC with ArmA II's reccomended hardware.

    The GPU is fine, CPU I'm thinking of upgrading to something Intel Q6600 or higher (thanks to ez), but I'm guessing I'll need some 2GB of RAM. OH! I also need a new power unit, as the current one is knackered.

    If you can link me to good places to buy this stuff from I'll be grateful much,

    thanks, VH

    EDIT: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Intel-Q6600-...4568422&sr=8-2 Q6600, but I'm not sure if it's worth getting a used (like new) one.. can't trust people on the net nowdays can you =S

    2GB RAM for that much? I'm not sure tbh, I'll look around a little more.

    OK! What I've decided on so far:

    RAM http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...d=8&subcat=813

    CPU http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...odid=CP-155-IN

    Cooler http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...57&subcat=1395

    Mobo http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...odid=MB-280-AS

    Thermal Compound http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...odid=AC-000-AC

    Case and PSU http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...d=7&subcat=160

    And my trusty X1600 Pro.

    £299.38 to go.
