Hi Chaps,
I am looking to replace my Asus Striker Extreme MB as has started to play up over the past few months. I've spec'ed this lot out but i have a few questions.
Are there any parts of this setup you would change? Also how good is the on board raid on the Asus board. If its any thing like the Asus 680i, thats shockly bad.
Asus Maximus II Formula Intel P45 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard
Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 LGA775 'Wolfdale' 3.16GHz
Asus ATI Radeon HD 4870 512MB GDDR5 TV-Out/Dual DVI/HDMI
OCZ Core 128GB 2.5" SATA-II Solid State Hard Drive
G.Skill 4GB DDR2 PK PC2-8500C5 (2x2GB) CAS5 Dual Channel Kit
Pioneer BDR-202BK 4x BD-R/RE Blu-Ray Serial ATA Dual Layer DVD Writer
Adaptec RAID Controller 5405
Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 750GB SATA-II 32MB Cache X 3
Parts i am going to keep from my old build are:
Enermax Galaxy 850W EGX850EWL - would this need upgrading?
Dell 2407 WFP
Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme CPU Cooler
If recomendations are welcome.
Thanks
Andy
