hi all
i am gonna be building a decent xp gaming era pc (early/mid 2000s - early 2010s)
i have my mobo (evga Nforce 780i) (socket 775)
i have my eax sound card (creative sound blaster fatal1ty fps edition)
i have my hdds, dvd/rw drive and floppy drive
thinking of upgrading the processor to a Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9650 but prices are weird on ebay etc and most of the cheapest ones seem to come from china and not sure if to go for that.
i not sure which graphics card to go with to cover that era, if anyone if any ideas what to good fit (was thinking maybe a 1gb or 1.5gb pci-e)
the cpu cooler, ram, case, case fans and psu will get at later date
