what about a 10k hd?
oh and, why the 4gig of ram, do you do video editing?

1) I would order a P35 mobo. A few places are selling them now such as clubit, they just dont list on the website.

2) The Processor and the CPU Cooling system don't seem to match. The cooling system would indicate you plan to seriously OC. If you are going to seriosly OC, then something like a 6420 would work better since these seem to have some of the best thermals.

3) I would get multiple HDDs. This will let you do raid or split the load between the drives by having swap files and temp directories on one and the software on the other.

4) The PSU manufacture is not preferred by a VERY respected reviewer on PSUs.

I heard the E6700 processor was good for OCing, do you think I could OC it pretty well? Also, what about the Tagan TG800-U25 EasyCon XL 800 Watt
power supply?

 

[apt403]

It is good for oc'ing, but it's too expensive. An E6450 or E6600 will be able to oc just as high as the E6700 and are cheaper.

You should add a DVD+-RW to that rig like:

Sony NEC Optiarc 18X DVD±R 12X DVD-RAM Write Black SATA

Dude that will not just work. The only thing on the market that will just work is an Apple. I suggest you purchase the only computer that just works. "PC" are inferior to Apples thats all there is too it just watch some clips here to see the scientific proof of this fact.(http://www.apple.com/getamac/)
Apples absolutely can not get viruses at all or spyware they run 111% at all times no questions. However your "PC" is the most insecure machine ever built you are sure to be a victim of identity theft and convicted of spaming and hosting kiddie porn with in a year.

This is just a fair warning to let you know that you are in grave danger if you don't get an Apple because it just works!

I don't know if this is a joke or not because your sig shows you've got an X2 5200+ and an 8800GTS. :lol:

he's taking the piss, those apple adds are complete BS

my favourite one is where "Mac" tells "PC" that Mac's are better for "all that fun stuff"... I mean yeah, apple's are famous for their huge market share in gaming aren't they

 

[zenmaster]

But the Ads are funny :>

 

[apt403]

Well, what do you expect? Those ads are for the average consumer, not the guys who stay up for days at a time at a LAN party, or the us enthusiasts. If the ads talked about what Mac OS X is good for, most people wouldnt understand half of it.

The guys who do use Macs professionally don't need commercials to help them make their decisions, and the Mac-using enthusiasts amoung our ranks don't need to be told what Mac OS X is good for.

Apple is like P4/PD era Intel. The general public thinks the Pentiums are awesome in every way. The enthusiasts know that they are good for some things (5ghz+ oc's) and suck at others (everything besides oc'ing).
