Hey all,

I got another computer which i want to rebuild. Make it a complete machine that will play games of all sorts (PC games, Emulators - Wii - PS3 etc.) without any errors or slowness. I don't mind if a little slow running emulators. Well i know its Intel Celeron 2.00 GHZ CPU with 256 Ram and Geforce 4 TI (which is damaged) and 160Gig HDD.

What Parts will i need i want to run a 64 bit system. 90% will go with Windows Vista Ultimate. So what i'm looking for is a really fast and good motherboard with around 2GiG Ram and a good graphic card.

I Don't know what is the best but i'm guessing Pentium Duo Core. If So tell me the best.

Thank You
 
Please answer the following questions with as much detail/specifics as possible, as it will help us help you (I know you've answered some of them already...):

1) What's your budget and what is included in that budget (tax/shipping, keyboard, monitor, OS, etc; if you're not in the US, please specify country)?

2) What will you be doing with this system besides gaming (eg: video editing, photochopping, media ripping/encoding, watching hd videos, CAD, etc)?

3) If you are gaming, what games will you be playing and at what resolution/settings (eg: cs:s @ 1680x1050 w/ no AA/AF)?

4) What size monitor do you have and/or plan to get?

5) What old parts do you plan on re-using, if any?

6) What features do you need/want in a motherboard and briefly, why do you need/want them? (3 pci slots, raid, firewire, µATX, etc)

7) How long do you plan on keeping this system and/or how often do you upgrade?

8) Do you plan on OC'ing?

9) If you haven't already, please look through the other build lists in GenHard and come up with a rough draft list of parts that we can nitpick. ;)

A 64-bit CPU. :D
 
Why are you looking at Vista Ultimate? Do you already have a copy on hand? Do you need the BitLocker drive encryption? Do you need/want the Vista Business features as well as those from Home Premium?
