New Desktop. Or as I like to call it, Batman.

My goodness Eeems! :O That's nice, but quite a lot to spend. I've been thinking about upgrading myself, but like Keoni, I'd be reusing a lot of the current parts. I'd mainly want to upgrade the graphics card. Other concerns would be cpu and ram. I already have a decent monitor and my 37" hd tv as a second monitor.
*edit* Might need a new power source too depending on what all I get. Haven't priced anything out at all.

Stock cooler? Why?
Keoni29:
Here is how I think my budget will be spent:
Gfx: msi 1GB second hand €60
Ram: 8GB-16GB second hand €50
Motherboard: second hand €130
Cpu: i7 second hand €100
SSD: samsung 250GB new €140
Total: €480/ us$622
I expect to be able to negotiate over prices and even get it for far cheaper as always.

I meant, i7 = 6 core, if it's Quad core, it should be i5. It's just how they are labeled. What I mean is it doesn't HAVE 6 cores it MEANS 6 cores.
Atleast I could have sworn that's what it stood for... Hmmm, doesn't matter, it's nice anyway ^_^.
harold:
No it doesn't, i7 Extreme's (often grouped with i7) have 6 cores. Regular i7's are quad cores.
At least, that has been the pattern so far.
