I want a computer, mostly for gaming and Photoshop.
I've been looking at this deal that Dell has:
http://configure.dell.com/dell...s1&l=en&OC=D5302V_F_1E
for 840$ (canadian) you get an E6550 (2.33 4mb cache) / 2gb ram at 667 mhz / 22 inch monitor
I was thinking about overclocking the processor a bit and adding a 8800GT. I'm not really sure that's possible tough. Do you think there would be any problems with the power supply /overclocking support on the motherboard / ram quality.
Is this a good idea? If not, what what do you recommend? I was looking at tigerdirect.ca, but they don't have any 8800 gt in stock. Maybe I can buy from newegg and get it ship over the border (with 15% taxes at customs).
My budget is basically around 1000$ I was thinking about a cheap C2D or quad core that I could overclock. I guess a quad core would bust the budget though.
