These are all Newegg Prices (I don't mind shopping elsewhere if cheaper):
1 Antec NSK3480 MicroATX Mid Tower Computer Case 380W Power Supply $ 89.99
1 SAMSUNG Spinpoint F1 HD753LJ 750GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - $119.99
1 G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 $ 79.99
1 GIGABYTE GA-G31M-S2L LGA 775 Intel G31 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard $ 59.99
1 Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield 2.4GHz LGA 775 Quad-Core Processor OEM $199.99
1 ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 Pro 92mm CPU Cooler $ 26.99
1 EVGA 512-P3-N861-AR GeForce 9600 GT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 $149.99 - $20 MIR
Subtotal: $726.93 or $706.93 after MIR
I already have a monitor and wireless mouse and keyboard. I also have a good sound card for recording music.
Power Supply?
I think from browsing the web that the PS on the case will be able to pull the 9600 together with the Q6600 processor. This is one of the main reasons I went with a 9600GT over an 8800GT.
Processor?
I also took the Q6600 over the dual cores because I edit video and photos a decent amount, but I can do dual core if the power consumption is a lot less. I may also stick with stock heatsink if I get a dual core.
Any advice on this? I wouldn't mind spending $100-200 extra if it's a huge difference for the system.
Thanks!
