Help building a new PC needed? £1000 budget!

[Goku]

My only part I don't like about the build is the cooler master PSU. They aren't known for quality units whatsoever.

thanks Goku, but im squeezing the pocket as much as i can, so ill change it at the next available time. ill get a few weeks out of it. See me through XMas, then ill replace it.

That sounds like a good idea. Hate to see the system blow up due to the PSU is all.

nah its cool m8, cheers for the warning

[SuperMorto]

My system has went out the window!! Reason is my van went down the other day, so its needs £700 worth of repairs. And it had £550 2 weeks ago. So it looks like it will be a i5.

Sorry to hear Super. The 2500K is still a great CPU. If you want an i7 in the future just drop in a Ivy Bridge one when they come out in April.

And that would go in the same socket?

Also do you think ill be able to stream 1080p with the i5?

Thing is the shop has an i5 system in the case I want, I have the last case in the shop with my name on it. Im just not sure the i5 will do what I need it to do, plus its the 2.8 version, not sure what that means.

Yes it is going to be 1155 as far as I know the vast majority of boards will support it.

It shouldn't have any trouble streaming 1080p either. I think that bottleneck would be more of a hard drive and internet one.

Cheers once again Goku,

You can check my internet speeds here LINK

The idea of that CPU sounds fantastic. Just with my van needing work I was going to go for a smaller system. Im just worried as I dont know much about performance, my XP system is maxed out and ive had it for years so im rusty.
But the place where I was going to buy my dream machine is doing a i5 sytem with 4gb ram etc etc, for £680. Its built and its in the case I want. Now if what you say about the new chip is rite, I might just go for that, but what I dont want to do is find the system cant handle what I need and then have to upgrade the mobo ram and CPU.

So hope you dont mind the brain picking

Thanks again,

[Goku]

What kind of streaming are you trying to accomplish here? Have you attempted this on your current setup at all? If so how did it turn out?

Im on my laptop atm, but my current PC is:

Windows XP
SP3 3GB of ram,
TV = SHARP Full HD TV,
Proccesor = Intel Core Duo (Conroe),
GCard = Zotac GTX 460,
Mobo, not sure.

To be fair I tried everything on it, couldnt get a good stream going. But since my attempt I have upgraded my internet connection. that could of been the main fault. This is why im here, im not sure on any of it.

Plus that system is full of programmes, and has been running for 3 years with no re-install. And I dont want to re-install as I have way to much stuff on there and it would take me weeks to re-install it all.

Oh and the streaming im trying to accomplish is 1080p PS2, with some fancy intros and outros.

Something of high quality. But if I can get away with a good stream with my current system, then i might just use it untill I can get the pennies together for a monster. (the one for £1400) with upgraded GPU after few months.

The internet bandwidth is the largest factor I think. What was your previous caps?

If you mean old BB speed it was:

DW 2mb
UP 0.5

Thanks again.

[Goku]

Those numbers in your other thread is what you have now? If so your old speed was very limiting. No way you can upload 1080P on just .5 mb line.

So what about my old system, you think it could stream a good rez? Even if its not 1080p.

And i did try everything on the last connection, but could never get it even looking remotely good.
