Hi, i have been reading these boards for a while to get all the info i could to build a new computer.
I have come up with this list of component:
Intel core 2 duo e6600
Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3
Mushkin XP2 PC2-6400 2GB 2X1GB DDR2-800 CL 4-4-3-10
Antec Sonata II Black ATX 16IN Mid Tower Quiet Case
Evga E-GEFORCE 7900 Gs Ko
Thermaltake CL-P0114 Big Typhoon
Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 320GB
Antec TriCool 120MM DBB Case Fan 3-SPEED
Would this be a good setup? This was around the budget i could afford , which is around 1500$ can.
I would like to overclock, and was wondering if the cooling/fans are enough, or i should add some extra fans.
Any suggestions to optimize the computer better for a better price/performance would also be very appreciated.
I also would like to get a dx10 card, but maybe a while after they are released. Should i stick with the 7900 gs, or would downgrading to a 7600 gt be a better choice? I think the 7600 gt is about 50$ cheaper then the 7900 gs
another choice would be to get patriot signature memory @ 667 and run it at 800, it would be 100$ cheaper, would it give a nearly equivalent performance as the mushkin?
Thanks,
Reap
