Hiya [H],
I'm in the market for a new machine, I've been out of it for about 3 years. This machine is going to be running Vista, and will primarily be used for browsing, looking at pictures and burning DVDs. I'd like to get 2 - 3 years of this type of use out of it.
I want to give a small consideration to gaming. I've got a 360 so most of my wants would go there but I'd still like to play Counter-Strike and maybe some of the newer games to a limited extent.
My total system budget is going to be around $1100 including monitor. Could you guys make some recommendations for the cpu, mobo, RAM and video card? I would appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks in advance!
