Hey all,
Considering building my dream computer in the near future, and I wanted to run down a list of parts and see if you think stock cooling would be fine for this configuration (still a dream at the moment but heavily considering it). I should note that I do *NOT* plan to overclock, at least for the moment (I know I can always add cooling if I decide to). I dunno, but I honestly am thinking stock cooling should be adequate with the case I'm using (and parts may be less powerful than I'm listing here...this is just "ultimate" heat configuration). What do you think?
Parts I'm leaning towards at the moment:
Lian Li PC-V1200Aplus II Aluminum Case (3x 120mm Fans - Front, Rear, & Side)
ASUS Striker Extreme Motherboard (680i; Nice Heatsinks Built In)
Intel QX6700 Quad Core CPU Retail (Stock Cooling)
2X GeForce 8800GTX XXX Edition (Stock Cooling)
4 GB Memory (Still Deciding...May Have Cooling if Crucial Dominator)
High Powered PSU w/ 2 Fans (Still Deciding...Enermax or Antec Probably)
Possibly a Sound Card & Physics Card Eventually
2 WD 500 GB SATA HDD
DVD-RW Drive
DVD/CD Drive
Floppy Drive
