yet another rate my build thread

[nageov3t]

so, my current box is roughly 2 years old and I think it's about that time to start thinking about rehauling it, since it wasn't exactly cutting edge when I build it... any thoughts on what I've put together so far?

CPU: intel core i7 920 (seems like it'll be easy enough to OC it to 3.8 GHz)

motherboard: Asus P6T
http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16813131386

RAM: 6GB DDR3 1600
http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16820227365

video card: EVGA 9800 GTX+ (this is in my current box... video card will probably be the next thing I upgraded, but it's not something I'm looking to upgrade in the immediate future)

system drive: 64GB SSD
http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16820231255

I've also got 2 1TB drives in a RAID1 that I'll be moving over from my current desktop (where I store pretty much everything except the OS and apps)... PSU will be coming out of my current desktop as well; forget what it is specifically, but it's only a couple months old.

You need 4 gb of ram? Just curious..I think 4gb is okay unless you multi task like a mofo. Also..maybe wait for some combo deals from the Egg? I dunno it looks good but theres just little things you coudl tweak to maybe save cash. good luck

that's exactly what I'm buying

(if I buy this... I'm really trying to not talk myself into saying F the cost and buying an i7, or cutting costs by sticking with my P130 case, much as I dislike it)

What happen with this build?

that's a good question :shocked: maybe my rig feels older than it is.

bump for updated specs.

decided that I didn't really need a new case, which freed up my budget to go for a core i7 like I originally wanted.
