Hi, just signed up today to get some input on a new PC I am building.
I have thoroughly read the 805 overclocking article and am hard set on repeating the results. I would like comments on whether the system I am considering can safely run this set up. To warrent this upgrade I am going to college in less than 2 months and would like a moderately "future proof" machine to upgrade from my current set up of 6800LE, AMD 3400+ sckt 754, shuttle, 2gb DDR g.skill. This worked for me while I was carting it around to lan parties 30 miles away but now I am looking for a more fixed solution.
I am also trying to keep the price down around $1200. All of the prices and delivery will be through either newegg.com or Tigerdirect so if you have input please try and provide links through these 2 sites.
Current Specs:
6600 Conroe, we will assume: $350
AW9D, again assuming: $180
Radeon X1900XT 512MB: $325
2GB Corsair DDR2 800: $200
Cooler Master Centurion 5: $55
HIPER 580w Power Supply: $100
Creative Sound Blaster Audigy2 ZS Platinum: $100
Brings me to a total of: $1310
Input:
Razor Diamondback
Saitek Red backlit Keyboard
