Alright I'm planning on buying a new system and this is the configuration i came up with...
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.40GHz FSB1066 Box ? 225.50
Asus P5E iX38, SATA2 RAID, GLAN, 8CH ? 185.00
Asus PCI-e GeForce 8800GT 512MB GDDR3 2xDVI ? 216.00
Corsair 4x1GB DDR2 SDRAM PC6400 CL4.0 TwinX Dominator ? 176.00
Samsung 500GB SATA300 16MB FDB, HD501LJ ? 87.50
Cooler Master Midi Tower Centurion 5 ATX No PSU ? 48.50
Cooler Master Processor Koeler RR-CCH-LB22 Hyper 212 Intel & AMD ? 29.50
Eminent Powersupply EM3900 550W ? 47.50
LG DVD-/+/RAM GSA-H62NRB 18x/18x/10x Retail ? 31.50
Total: ? 1047.00 (is about $1500)
I would like to get some feedback on the configuration I came up with. especially the Italic parts mostly because I got lost in the huge ammount of choise out there. And because I want to overclock my CPU to about 2.8 Ghz I'm not at all sure about the memory.
Some background info:
I'm gonna use my system for application development (.NET, SQL server 2008 -> explains the 4 GB RAM etc), UI design WPF
and ofcourse gaming (crysis, HL ep. 2.0, gears of war etc)
I will be running Windows vista ultimate x64
I have chosen for the Asus P5E board because:
- I think I will slightly overclock my Q6600 to about 2.8 Ghz
- I think I will upgrade my Q6600 to a 45 nm CPU a soon as the price drops below $ 350
- The PCIe 2.0 compatibility (can't really back that one up, but I figured 8800 GT... :roll
Thanks for your time
