Ordered my Conroe!!!!!! Help me choose the rest.

[Gutcheck]

Got the CPU from tigerdirect.com, anyone ever use them? The rest will come from Newegg.

So:

CPU E6600

Mobo ?

Ram ?

Case - Lain Li V1000 black

PSU ?

Vid Card - 7600 until G80 lands

Sound X-fi

Drives - 2 74GB Raptors

DVD RW - Plextor

 

[1N0V471V]

Budget?

 

[1N0V471V]

Disregard this post -- it double posted

 

[Gutcheck]

3,000 max, prefer to keep it at 2,000 bucks. I also do not need a monitor.

 

[Modular]

I've used Tigerdirect. They have some deals at times, but they charge tax for me so that generally ruins it for me.

Their shipping can be rediculous as well.

Hard drive is weak, video card is weak.

I'd get a Raptor or if you dont want to drop that kind of coin ,the 300GB varieties of disks.

Get a 7900GT to compliment your nice CPU.

 

[dexvx]

Giga-byte 965 Boards ($150 or $250) if you wanna overclock.

 

[Mobiius]

Gutcheck, could try a Western Digital Raptor (36gig) as a OS and Application loader, and ... any nice 300 gig sata as a storage?

Sorry, shoulda said in my origional post:

I will be using my 2 74gb Raptors in a raid 0, that drive there is for my old pc which will go on ebay.

The vid card is just to hold me over till G80 hits.

You're really, really wasting money on that PSU. Your current system could be run from a 350W or 400W PSU for now.

When you upgrade the odds of a single top of the line GPU needing more than 600W is tiny, the odds of SLI needing it aren't great. (hink about it, crossfired 1900XTXs, the most power hungry graphics system around only needs a 600W PSU, factor in a smaller process (currently being rolled out with ATI) and the increase in transistors will probably only result in a fractional increase in power need rather than doubling it as the inq + co predict.

Get a good 600W (PCP&C are top notch, but imo not worth the price premium) and then if you really need to in future you can buy a 5.25" add in one. You won't need to, but that's your futureproofing.

Gut- Sorry, shoulda said in my origional post:

I lean towards Bob's viewpoint on psu, but then again Im itching to get a Dell 24" that keep dropping in price- you have monitor covered allready too

I agree, how about this one?

That was the first thing to catch my eye as well. Even PC Power's 510 SLI PSU would be more practical. Can be had for less than 2 bills.

Still a very paranoid choice But you know you're not going to run out of juice anytime soon...

Try this one out for size, i'm not an OCZ fan but they do make good PSUs and if you look at the 12V rails (the important bit) i think you'll see they have exactly the same (18A on four rails).
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817341002

One thing i think i should add is that ZZfly tends to be cheaper for PSUs than newegg, sometimes by a large margin.
