Hi, my son jack has been using my old pentium 4 rig for some time now with a 6200le graphics card and 2gb ram with a 15" lcd monitor.
He likes playing cod 4 and unreal 3 but tbh its struggling with those games to a point where it either freezes or just switches off.
So i have decided to build him a new gaming rig for a surprise xmas present.
He will be using my 9 month old 8800 gts 512mb graphics card as im getting a 4870 1gb for crimbo.
I have ordered the following components.............
Abit IP43 socket 775 atx motherboard.
Intel pentium dual core E5200 2.5ghz 800fsb 2mb cache
Seagate barracuda 250gb sata11 8mb cache hard drive.
pioneer DVR 116dbk 20x DVD
Ocz 4x1gb platinum 6400/800mhz ram.
Akasa ak 965 cpu cooler
Extra value 650 watt gold psu.

Also 2 extra 80mm fans with blue leds and 2 uv lights and some green uv paint (hes only 6) ha ha.
I will be clocking the cpu to about 3.6/3.8 or maybe 4.0ghz depending on temps. and also the g-card.
will be running vista 64 ultimate.
Will be posting pics of the build asap.
