Spec Check.

Hi guys

I currently am running

165 Opteron
2GB 3200 Gskill
DFI SLI-DR
Lian Li PC60
Tagan 520W
2x 250GB Maxtor 7200
320GB Seagate 7200
X800XT


I recently picked up a 8800GTX now I just need some other parts so I can see what it is capable of. I play a few games often everynight and I like my windows to be very responsive. I also need the quietest machine possible, as sometimes I would like to sleep with it on and currently thats not possible. Watercooling is a bit advanced for me, and I change hardware every 4-5 months roughly so I don't tend to want a lot of extra hassle. I will be overclocking as much as possible.

I was thinking

6400 OR 6600 Core Duo
2GB Geil or Corsair 6400
Gigabyte DS3 ? or DS4?
Tuniq Tower
620W Corsair
150GB Raptor
2x 500GB Seagate
Silent large case? Coolermaster Stacker maybe?

I'd go for an Asus P5N-E instead of the DS3 if i were you, and i'd get the geil while its still cheap.

Both mobos are good. I'd get the tuniq, but buy a top fan to replace it (Noctura for example) as mine was quite noisy. Some are noisy, some aren't. With a quiet fan in those tuniq's are amazing.
