Riiiiight.. well i got my place at University confirmed today.. So i can go ahead and start building my new pc for it..
1 problem.. dunno what parts to use and where to get them from (obviously i'm a brit so US based retailers might not be the best choice, lol)
It'll have to handle gaming (obviously).. Half-life, HL2, CS: source.. the usual...
Be able to process graphics, compile (or whatever) programming, maps.. etc basically everything to do with game developement and play..
i'm not sure how the internet will work on it, might be usb might be standard ethernet - i'll sort that out later though..
I'll need plenty of space.. i'm thinking 2x 120GB..
Anyone with computing know-how care to offer me advice on which parts will be best for performance i need, and not too harsh on the pocket. Obviously i want quality, but not overly excessive. lol
Cheers,
Frootbag:D
