Well, finally getting a Q6600, but which mobo and ram?
Looking at these:
Asus P5K Premium/WiFi-AP Intel P35 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard
Intel Core 2 Quad Pro Q6600 2.40GHz Guaranteed to run at 3.00GHZ (1333FSB) - Retail
Corsair 4GB DDR2 XMS2 Dominator PC2-8500C5 TwinX (2x2GB) Supplied with Airflow Fan (TWIN2X4096-8500C5DF)
Noctua NF-S12 1200RPM 120mm Silent Case Fan
Arctic Cooling Accelero S1 Rev. 2 VGA Cooler (For the GTS I already have)
I'm not loaded and would like a OC platform to last a good hard year, and already have psu/case/gfx etc. I game, photoshop, dvd compiling. My OS is vista 64 and current hardware is below:
Antec Sonata case & PSU, Zotac 8800GTS 512, 2GB Corsair XMS2 5400C4, ASRock ConRoe1333-GLAN and a E6400 @ 2.8ghz with Freezer 7 Pro.
The current system seems to be laggy since going to 64bit vista too.
Open to cheaper/better options that will give great performance, stability and OC.
Thanks in advance!
