    I want to build/buy a gamer multimedia pc. I want a q6600 and an 8800 ultra graphics card can anyone point me to a australian pc builder that can do it for a good price? I want the disks that come with the cards and I want vista premium aswell.

    Thanks and regards

    thanks I was wondering if I should wait till ddr3 and bluray/hddvd drives become cheap. plus I wanted to use the pc as a tv recorder and media centre plus a gamer I was looking at 2uad cores with an 88oo card with the option to go sli later plus raid and whatever else it takes to make up a complete system rather than 3 systems to do each different job oh and it has to have vista premium for the media centre and the direct x 10.

    any ideas where to go? I was going to build myself but am worried about messing up my connections.

    cheers

    I wouldn't bother with a bluray/hd-drive just yet.

    One or the other is going to beat the other and I think it's advisable to wait and see what the outcome is.

    DDR3 is used in graphics card memory - not necessarily needed at the moment as all games will continue to use DDR2 for a while still.

    Get yourself a TV tuner card (PCI) if needed - just requires an aerial to be plugged in and the software is supplied with the card.

    Put yourself together a basket of the items you're thinking of getting and post it here :)
