Ok, i have been out of the hardware/gaming scene for about 3 years now. I have spent the last 2 weeks catching up on MB's, all the new PCIe stuff, etc. I have decided to go with the following, but can't decide on memory vause most reviews involve overclocking, and im not interested in overclocking.
I gonna do an AMD 64 platform
New gigabyte MB with SLI (K8NXP-SLI)
Silverstone case with heavy cooling
Nvida 6800 U card
Im building for gaming, and expandablity later on. i wanna just be able to add a thing here and there 2 yrs from now, and still have a decent machine. I gonna get the higher priced 8600 U because i figured in a yr or so, when im gonna want more power from video, i can buy another 6800U on the low low, and do SLI mode.
In terms of memory though, I dont know what to get, I dont wanna spend a fortune, and I want a Gig (2 512's) but I want good reliablity. Again, Iwont be overclocking, so i dont think any of the high end stuff wil lbe neccesary OR WILL IT? what you guys think
Also looking at Hard Drive ideas, what brands you guys reccomend for reliablity?
Same with Burners, i have had bad luck with burners over the years not lasting or not running wel lafter awile. I dont think i need DVD R and al lthat , just CDR, but reliable quality stuff.
Again im some what hardware savy, I have just been out of the scene for awhile. So any help would be awesome.
