New Rig Spec

[Quint]

How's this, I'm looking at purchasing at the end of the month?

Intel Core 2 DUO E6600 "LGA775 Conroe" 2.40GHz (1066FSB)
Zalman CNPS9700-LED Aero Flower (Socket AM2/939/754/775) CPU Cooler
EVGA nForce 680 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard
OCZ 2GB (2 x 1GB) PC2-8500 1066MHz SLI-Ready Edition Dual Channel DDR2 (OCZ2N1066SR2GK)
BFG GeForce 8800 GTX OC 768MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail
Western Digital Raptor X 150GB WD1500AHFD 10,000RPM SATA 16MB Cache
Creative X-Fi Xtreme Gamer 7.1 Soundcard - Retail
Samsung SH-183LBEBN 18x18 DVD±RW Dual Layer Serial ATA Lightscribe ReWriter (Black)

Akasa Eclipse 62 Aluminium Case - No PSU
BFG 1000W UK/PFC Approved PSU
Akasa Serial ATA 45cm DAYGLO Green Data Cable
Akasa AK174CB-4BLB 120mm Blue LED Fan

I'm an Nvidia and Intel kind of bloke.
I have a spare DVD reader to add to this.

I'll see what the cables etc look like light up before I get the window for the case, not bothered about showing it off really.

Whats looks and works best, the EL Data cable or the DAYGLO?

Would change the Raptor for a pair of Seagates/WD's.

Might want to change the RAM as well, isn't really needed.

PSU is overkill, Corsair/Seasonic will do.

Part from that looks OK.

Hi Will_3rd,

Sorry, whats not needed with the RAM?

Regards and thanks for fast reply.

 

[Will_3rd]

It's a bit overpriced for what it is, plus do you plan on doing Sli?

PC2-6400 RAM should be fine or even PC2-8000 depends if your planning to overclock.

 

[Quint]

sli in the future yes.

and overcloking yes, not from day one though, again, in the future.
