Hey guys,
Someone I know was (dangerously!) going to go to the local PC shop to buy a new computer. I've saved him from the world of rip-off there and he's paying me instead
Of course the computer's now my responsibility so I need to make sure he gets something good.
His budget doesn't exist to be honest, but it needs to be high performance yet a sensible spend of money. Apart from the fact he wants 2x500GB hard drives.
Case: Lian Li
GFX: BFG 8800GTS OC2
Mobo: Gigabyte P35 DQ6
Hard Drives: 2x WD 500GB
Optical: 1x floppy, 2x black DVDRW
Sound: use on-board sound
Network/Ethernet: as above
Processor: Q6600 95W version
Cooler: Thermalright Ultra 120 extreme + arctic silver 5
Fans: Sharkoon 1000 (x4)
PSU: corsair hx620w
Memory: Geil 2GB (800mhz C4 or 1066mhz c5?)
My main worries are: (but please leave any other comments you can think of!)
Motherboard - have I chosen the right one? Is the P35 chipset ok with the new processors?
Processor - this should be ok for a while, i mean crysis and supcom don't even use these up?
Graphics card - crysis doesn't run that well on these... any idea on when the next gen of gfx cards are coming? GFX card must be BFG of EVGA for warranty purposes
I will post specific questions in each forum later but just wanted a general look over my spec first!
Thanks in advance
