I've been out of the loop for like 8 months now and in computer hardware time that is a LOT of time so I'm asking for advice, I've been meaning to build a new computer for a long time now. My budget is around 1000 to 1500 dollars, I want it to last as long as possible and that it can be upgraded nicely even several years in the future. My last computer was a 478 socket AGP computer JUST when LGA 775 and PCI-E was coming out so my upgrade possibilities have been very slim now. So if something like PCI-E2 or new intel socket or DDR3 or whatever is coming out like 2 months from now that will make their old counterpart obsolete and hard to find then I'll wait because I don't want to go through the AGP cards shortage fiasgo.
So yeah, can anyone help me out with this build? Here is a list of things I DON'T need:
-Operating System
-Speakers
-Keyboard
-Mouse
-Monitor
-Optical drives
So yeah I need everything else. I was thinking something on the lines of a P35 chipset, a quad core intel processor and a 8800 card but I'm not really sure. Did AMD come up with something new? I can wait like 2 months or a bit more, is it worth waiting that amount of time at this moment? etc, etc.
If anyone could help me with this I'd be SO grateful
