this recommendation i got from a Fuw*ll staff...

 

~ if gaming, dun waste $$ getting core 2 quad coz not extra 2 core not utilised, core 2 duo is good enough, core i7... hmmm

~ save the $$ for a (or pair) really good graphics card

~ for speed and compatibility, use XP instead of Vista (very resource hungry)

~ if not running many hardware (e.g. raid with multiple HDD), then true power 450W is good enough

~ invest in good cooling to avoid head related performance issues

 

dunno how true
