Your tips and suggestions for a new PC
since my trusted old pc is coming to his end i want to get a new gaming computer. i have thought about something along the lines of an intel Q9550 CPU, 4GB RAM, Nvidia GTX 280 VGA and a motherboard that takes all that. then of course the normal other stuff like a dvd reader (i don't burn), hard drive, power supply
i have chosen these brands for no other reasons than these are the same as in my existing PC.
so this is where i am going with this:
does a Nvidia VGA have an advantage over ATI ot vice versa?
does an Intel CPU have an advantage over AMD or vice versa?
is the new intel i7 CPU something i should consider?
is DDR2 RAM ok or should i go for DDR3?
can i stick to windows XP or will there be games in the future that only run on vista?
what is the advantage of a sound card over the onboard sound?
any other things i have to consider?
thanks for your help!
