Going up to OC’s later to get my upgrade bits

Any last changes anyone would suggest??


Intel Core 2 DUO E6600
Zalman CNPS9500-AT Aero Flower
Asus P5W DH Deluxe WiFi
GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC6400C4 800MHz Ultra Low Latency DDR2 Dual Channel Kit
Connect3D ATI Radeon X1900 XT 512MB
Samsung SpinPoint P SP2504C 250GB
 
swap hdd for seagate .10

+ wait for this week only deals to update today!! you might find some new things that will either make your picks cheaper, or maybe something better might be made cheap enough for you to want to swap to it
 
I think the Tuniq Tower is a better cooler than the Zalman but other than that it looks good, as mikeymike suggests waiting for This Week Only deals to change might be a good idea in case your parts are reduced.
 
it waaaaaay out-performs the samsung, as to whether it is as quiet, i am unsure, there is no set time, sometimes they've changed by 10 in morning, other times not till 4 in the afternoon, i dont know if theres a news page on this new version website, so just refresh (F5 key) the this week only page every 20mins or so :)
 
to be honest with that setup all you will need to do is go into BIOS and up the FSB a bit and you'll hit 3ghz no problems at all :) i'd hardly even call it overclocking, its just not challenging enough :p
 
what i'd recommend is getting a 6400 and a p5b deluxe this will both save you money and also give you excellent performance at stock and when you come to overclocking which as has already been said these will hit 3ghz easily it will give you a nice performance booster :)
 
What sort of resolutions will you be playing at? If it is 1280x1024 or less then a 256mb card is normally fine otherwise I'd be considering the 512mb version. That is just a very rough guide but often enough holds true. :)
