my old one is dead so i need to get a new one. I am a basic user with occasional video and picture editing. I also do a bit of gaming. normally i will open up to 10 windows and my firefox will have about 10 tabs.
thinking of a set up like below
Quad core Q9300
A motherboard that has lan, pci-e 2.0, VGA, dual channel ddr2 (need expert's recommendation biostar good anot? saw it at bliss)
2gb ddr2 667mhz - heard this is the most window xp 32bit can handle?
320gb hdd sata
a pci-e 256mb gpu... no frills one can le.. no need anything spectacular
a PSU that can support 3 hdd and 2 dvd drives
All the rest i can transfer from my old set up.
How much do you guys think this set up will cost me? I am thinking of quad core for future expansion... i dont wan to have trouble playing diablo 3 in 2 years time lol.

motherboard i am not so sure, but maybe a p35?
RAM dual channel u can get corsair xms2( or others), i will recommend a faster clock speed like 800
HDD u can up to 500gb for 190$
graphic card wise would u get a ati or nvidia? i heard that ati is good for video.
ATI, get a 4850 or 4870

Hmmm,for now this is quite good set up. But two years later?? hmmmLets turn the time two years back,where the Nvidia 6xxx/7xxx just pop out?
Godly,premium and worshipped. And come back to today,where's all the cards??
Sold online,thrown away,tortured by extreme voltmods and Overclocking?
So,just get a computer you think worth it now.
IT products last the most on the top performance for maximum 1 year.
Computer performance also do drop after 6 months to 1 year,by 8-25% depending on the run time,overclocked speed,voltage used and other factors.
