That is stupid if you will still use Windows XP since Windows will stop giving updates to that OS next year. I suggest you get Windows 8 so you can unleash your PC's full potential.:)

LOL. Install whatever you want bro, it's your choice. I'm just saying that it will just suck.

Simple, yes. Better, not. As you can see, XP is really really old. Yes, it's good but not for new games.

"When Windows 7 was relaeased there were quite a few studies done asking this same question. It was found that Windows 7 was slightly more efficiect thus making it a better OS for gaming.

As brett said above you want the 64 bit version because with the 32 bit version you are limkited to about 3.25 GB of RAM. 64 bit does not have this limitation.

There are other reasons to upgrade to Windows 7 beyond gaming. Windows 7 is a much safer and much more stable OS. Also Microsoft is ending the life of XP in 2 years. That means no more updates, no new drivers and no new security updates. So if you have the chance to go with Windows 7 now you might as well do it before you are forced to do it in two years. "

You have a good PC coming to you mate. Don't waste space and time for a dying OS. Most games are DX11, and I heard WinXP is only DX9. You cannot unleash your PC's full potential. Heck, you cannot even utilize your CPU with WinXP.

I've done my research. And it's not really reasonable to get XP since you've got a monster PC.:D

Cooling fan? Oh, on your old PC? Well, just use a vacuum or something. Portable vacuum, not the one who needs electricity.

Well, that's good.:)

Just checkin'... You sure your motherboard is compatible with your processor which you are going to buy?
I hope you can build a good one. All you need to build a pc is pretty much a correct screwdriver lol. AND some wires.

I mean about the computer you are going to buy...
To be more precise the components. You sure these parts that you are GOING to buy
are compatible with each other (well mostly Mother Board and Processor)

And he is banned. Care to tell me why? xD

Well if you want to buy a PC is to build the PC first. I recommended you to have this PC rig for cool gaming.

Proccesor (CPU): Intel i5 processor or higher / AMD Phenom II X6 or higher
RAM: 8 GB or higher
OS: Windows 7 (Ultimate) or Windows 8 (or Pro) [64-Bit]
Motherboard: (Brand: ASUS, MSi, GIGABYTE or EVGA)
Video Card: nVidia GeForce 500 series or higher / AMD HD 6870 or higher
Disk Space: 1 TB or higher
Power Supply: 800 watts or higher
Antivirus: Norton 360

Well.. this is just an opinion well that's my Dream PC though (Note: I don't like AMD). Or just build your PC here CLICKY. Well I like Intel i7 Extreme and nVidia GTX 500 higher co'z that's for Hardcore Gamers with 8 GB higher. Well now my PC's PSU is 900 watts. And my Graphics Card is kinda old it's GT 9500. And The CPU is AMD Athlon II X4 640 and my Motherboard is ASUS M4N68T-M-V2 and yeah I can't play graphical games like Planetside 2 and others. We'll it's your choice.

Asus and Gigabyte are good motherboard manufacturers. Phenom II X6 is really old now you know.
Vid card: Why not go to 6xx and 7xxx series?
Powersupply: Ha! That's wrong. 620w is already more than enough unless you are planning to do multigpu.


Anyways, ask me if you're going to build a PC.:D I know a place where you can get less price than most shops.

Yeah my Phenom is old, And I can't go to those series co'z this PC is from my family (true owner: Dad) and I will buy an awesome PC with Intel i7 Extreme and nVidia 600 GTX higher when I have enough money or when I have a job (co'z I'm still a 14 yr. old kid). And Why Powersupply has 900 watts? because back then my PSU is 300 watts but then I suffer so many Blue Screen of Deaths and we buy a new PSU 900 watts and it's so cheap! It's about 900 Pesos (about $22) that's why we bought it and that PSU (900 watts) has 2 Fans! That's why

You wanna spend alot of money for a desktop ?

There you go
