Anyway, I see that someone's already directed you to my thread, but at 1680x1050 I'd highly recommend going with the AMD sweet spot (Athlon II x3 440) plus a Radeon 4850. Those two parts are dirt-cheap, costing less than $200USD together here in the States (not sure about AU$), and will be able to handle most anything at 1680x1050. Then just upgrade the card to mid-range again in 1.5-2 years. For the rest of the parts, just look at the recommendations in my thread. |
He did say he wanted the card to last a few years (unlikely as that is whatever you choose), and implied that he's considering a 1920 res later on.
