Hi everyone,
I'm planning to replace the machine I built two and a half years ago. New machine will be mainly used for multi-tasking, audio editing and a spot of gaming. I seek stability, durability and semi-quietness (well, lack of noisiness). That last point may relate to the fact that I'm presently shooting for a boxed CPU - might it make more sense to get an OEM + custom fan or is the bundled one OK in this regard?
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 (2.13ghz) Socket 775 FSB1066 2MB Cache Retail Boxed Processor
Mobo: ASRock CONROEXFIRE-ESATA2 SKT775 945P PCI-E 7.1 channel audio ATX
Memory: Crucial 1GB 240 Pin DIMM Unbuffered DDR2 PC4200
HDD: Seagate ST3160811AS 160GB 7200.9 SATA II 7200RPM Drive - OEM
PSU: Hiper 530W Black Type M PSU - ATX v2.2, Silent/Temp Control, Active PFC, SLI/Crossfire Certified
GFX: Sapphire X1950Pro 256MB 256bit GDDR3 Dual DVI TVO HDCP PCI-E
Case: undecided.
+ floppy/DVD etc.
Hope I pasted all of that right. Any and all comments are very much welcome!!
