Hey
After trying to find out which PC manufacturer was better I came to the conclusion that building your own PC is more fun and generally cheaper. I am not that knowledgeable about computer hardware, I have experience with installing upgrades to my current PC but alot of the techincal info I am really not sure about.
I have come up with the following systm, mainly on recommendations from PC mags / forums etc. But i would really like a 3rd party to give some opinions on it.
Case: Antec P180
Motherboard: Asus P5B-Delux WIFI AP
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6700
RAM: Corsair Memory TWIN2X2048-6400C4 2x1GB
Power Supply: Seasonic S12-600
Cooling: Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro
Harddisk: Western Digital Cavier 250GB WD2500KS
Graphics: EVGA GeForce 8800GTS 640MB DDR3 PCIE Dual DVI TVO
Soundcard: Creative SB X-Fi Xtreme Music
Drives: LG GSA-H10NSBB 16x DVD+/-RW IDE + maybe a 2nd
One thing I really had no idea about was the RAM, so i just randomly picked from a recommendation in the PC mag, also do I need any extra cooling, any extra power etc?
Thanks very much in advance
