New Build: Advice needed
First of all let me say hi to everyone (my first post here).
Not new to building pcs been doing it for about 6 years.
I am now desperate for a new machine and my budget is round about £1000 maybe a little more if it can be justified
Right this is what i have put together
Mobo - Asus P5K Deluxe/WiFi-AP, iP35,
Ram - OCZ 2GB (2 x 1GB) PC2-8500 1066MHz SLI-Ready Edition Dual Channel DDR2
PSU - Antec TruePower Trio 650W PSU - With 3x 12v Rails and 120mm Fan
Case - Antec P182 Advanced PERFORMANCE ONE SERIES Super Midi Tower Case, Black
GPU - 640MB BFG Technology 8800GTS OC2, PCI-E (x16), Mem 1700, GPU 580MHz, 96Streams
HDD - 500 Gb Samsung HD501LJ Spinpoint T, SATA300, 7200 rpm, 16MB Cache, 8.9 ms, NCQ
Cooling - Arctic Cooling AC-FRZ-7P Socket 775 CPU Cooler
Total = £760
CPU - Right after intel price drops it will either be Q6600 or E8650 (max im guessing £190)
Undecided on that as yet. I do a lot of gaming and also a lot video editing and DVD recoding.
So my grand total is round about £950.
I was thinking of maybe the Thermalright Ultra-120 EXTREME CPU Heatpipe Heatsink as a cooler but not sure.
I have my 19"TFT which im happy with for the minute(this will be my next upgrade)
Have the OS and have my Saitek GM-3200 gaming laser mouse(which btw is awesome, best £30 ever spent)
Anyway tell me what you think any tweaks or suggestions, but has to stay around the 1000 - 1100 price range no more
Thanks danman2k
