** Computer will mainly be used for surfing and watching videos **
Let's start with what I have:
- E6600 C2D w/ mobo
- 4GB RAM
- GPU (8800 GTS & 4890)
- Monitors
Couple of options:
1. Buy necessary components to run the older parts
>> PSU, case, HDD
2. Buy a pre-built rig (cheaper?)
>> Something APU-based (or maybe Sandy/Ivy)
>> Could also build it myself, but could be more expensive?
I'm leaning towards the first option so that I could replace my main PSU (an old HX620). The only issue is that my DDR2 RAM seems faulty (cause of my BSODs when I used to use the parts), though I do have a spare set of DDR2 RAM (2GB) that should be okay.
Thoughts? Opinions? Again the build is only going to be used for surfing and watching videos. It's also not going to be powered on 24/7 -- the user's your usual casual computer person.
Thanks!
