decisions... stirred by itchiness

nah, itz not sleaze :P
ITZ TECH
(alot of PC related stuff below)

so i'd been trying to sell off my rig.
if anyone's interested

Q6600
P5Q3
2x 1gb DDR3 1333mhz
Sapphire ATI HD 4850 Toxic
Zalman CNPS 9700NT
Coolermaster CM690
Coolermaster M620 Modular Power Supply

~

if i do sell it off, now that the decision time...

A. build mATX rig
don't need to be high end i7 mATX lah, that one like tearing a new a-hole from my wallet & myself. Midrange can d, since i'm running a 20" 1680x1050 Dell 2007WFP nia.
potential target: Phenom II x3 720 with a 780g matx mobo (AM3+790gx+DDR3 kinda pricey), besides DDR3 on Phenoms can only go up to 1333MHZ; lack luster sia...

B. get ATX sys... Core i5 liekly
well it's comin in the near future, integrated graphics controller sounds very tasty (mmmm... yummies). BUT THEN AGAIN HORR... Westmere is oso around the corner...

next on my chain of thoughts...
if i do get a rig,

Which GPU leh ?


ATI HD 4770 seems like a good choice for 20" display, since it's on par with HD 4850...

wat? u say why no NVIDIA?
IMHO they're f-kin pricey, GTX260 pricing can pancung kepalas d...
while GTS 250 is NVIDIA's recycling/rebranding 9800 GTX+...
besides ATI 4770 is on par & cheaper

and next is

ATX/mATX casing:
Coolermaster HAF mini 922 VS Storm Scout
LianLi v350 vs Silverstone Sugo vs NZXT Rogue
>_< kepala meletups sia

ugh argh... *mentally stab self*
maybe i should just roll a D20 & decide

till then, cheerio ~
