I'm getting in the process of building a new system to replace my current AMD 2600+. I will be using some of the componets from the old system in the new system for now until I get more funds to upgrade. The components I would like to use from the old system are the 3.5 floppy, NEC 16XDVD burner, Plexor 52X CD burner, SATA 80GB Maxtor hard drive, ATA 80GB hard drive. Plus my new spectre 22" wide screen LCD monitor.
The system I would like to build is for home use with casual gaming. I do plan on Over clocking and want a system that I will be able to upgrade as CPU's, GPU's, and so forth come down in price. With all that said I want to start of by getting a CPU that I can stabley run in the mid 3ghz range. I'm very torn as if I should go with a D 805 or a C2DE6300. Both seem to work very well in OC, but the price of the D805 is very attractive at 1/2 the price of the C2DE6300. So any imput on that front would greatly be appricaited and please remember I want to do this on a tight budget and plan on upgrading in he future as prices drop.
Below is what I had in mind, Please let me know what you think and any sugestions are greatly appriciated!
