I am about to build a PC for the first time and have chosen the following spec.
CPU - Intel E6750 ; Motherboard - MSI P35 Neo-FR;
Memory - Corsair 2 x 1012 mb.; Graphics - Sapphire Radeon 1650Pro. ; Hard Drive - Samsung 320Gb.
Case - Akasa Zen ; PSU - Atec SmartPower 2.0 SP-500PGB 500 Watt.
I am not a 'gamer but I am into 'graphics and video and music and TV on line. I run some heavyweight programs such as Photoshop C3.
My dillema is, could i get away with a cheaper CPU e.g., Intel E4440 which has a good reputation for overclocking if required. This would save about £50. which could be used elsewhere.
All advice most welcome as well as comments on my proposed system.
