Hello people,
After having some good advice from my previous thread " Newbie Upgrading", i have decided to scrap the idea of upgrading know.
Maybe i should build i new desktop machine, because i really want it for video editing my game-play from my PS3 via my huappuge pvr 2, and to start making use of YouTube for a hobby and some fun. Also I may to start gaming again on the pc, but i haven't gamed on the PC since unreal tournament!
for UT!!
The reason also for scrapping the idea of upgrading is i think there might be a limitation and a waste of money simply because, i can spend money upgrading to some medoka because of my ASUS M2A-MV motherboard, or start afresh with something that can be good now and great later and SUPER after, with thing moving on so quickly.
Does anyone think there is any sense in this logic, or am i wasting my money by build a new machine and should i just stick with upgrading
!!!
If you think i should just build a new one can i get a decent one bettter than this for £350-400? No need for a screen!!
