HIS ATI Radeon X1950 Pro ICEQ 3 TURBO SILENT Heatpipe 256MB GDDR3 TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (H195PRQT256DD-R) (£152.74)
GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC6400C4 800MHz Ultra Low Latency DDR2 Dual Channel Kit (£162.14)
Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro CPU Cooler (Socket 775) (£16.44)
Asus P5B Deluxe (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard (£123.36)
Intel Core 2 DUO E6600 "LGA775 Conroe" 2.40GHz (1066FSB) - Retail (£215.01)
Zalman ZM460-APS 460W ATX2.03 PSU (£64.61)

Anybody see any problems with the above? I am replacing a 6800 Ultra P4 system and would go with the X1950pro for now for a good improvement and then jump to a DX10 card in the Spring. Silence is the most important thing in th setup hence the HIS card.

Is the Pro going to be good enough for 1650x1080 gaming?

Or can I save money on the Geil by using my current 2gb Corsair XMS3200 DDR in the new rig?

Have no idea if the memory is backwards compatible these days :-(


HELP! Would this Hiper PSU be a better bet than the Zalman?

Hiper HPU-4M580 Type R 580W ATX2.2 PSU - Black

Oh god I am so out of date with sytem builds.

NO, you must use DDR2 with ALL core2duo\conroe chips.

Dunno about the PSU thing though, out the loop meself on those, but you can't go wrong with an expensive one ;)
 
Thanks for the memory advice. Mine is failing as I noticed this is in the wrong forum. Could a Mod move to the General Hardware please :rolleyes:
