This is sorta double post for the guy wanting to do budget $750.
I used to be into lan and gaming and a little into overclocking. Im currently on my last gamin rig like 4 years out 2500barton. Im looking to upgrade to PCI express and everything.
Orginially was gonna go with 4200 x2 after pricing everything out over $1200 i said woahoo way out of my budget.
Never ran intel always had a grudge on them doing some reading on what to buy on the toms hardware i came across the d805 that inspired me but then everyone is now overclocking the e6300 however there is not a true indepth guide to building a system.
Here are my needs, I need a good stable system low budgeted that can preform as well if not better than a 4200x2. Need to work well with Studio 10 and CS:S
I've decieded on
Intel e6300 do not want to spend any more on a processor its already almost $200.
1 Gig of ram - I like Crosair but whats your opinion.
$100 or < Harddrive SATA 3gbs can always get another later for more storage. 120-160 is fine for now.
PCI 16X video card - like Nividia 7600GT
User Friendly Watercooling system.
User Friendly Monitoring System
I have:
Nice case mid tower atx
Zalman 400w - ZM400A-APF
DVD Rom lol yeah rest is pretty much obsolete.
As far as the overclocking steps going, I will wait till i have the system built then ask for the the things to tweak it.
Thanks everyone. Im going to bed now I hope i gave enough information and background for you to be able to help me select a system. I been out of it for to long and now relaying on you guys.
