hi everyone, Its finally time for me to build a new PC and i need some help.
I have built pcs from scratch before but its been quite some time and i havent really been following hardware recently.It will be getting used both for video editing and gaming.I would also like to learn more about overclocking , i have never overclocked before but would like to start (gotta start somewhere!)nothing massive to begin with just as long as its good and stable!
heres a list (incomplete) of a few of the components im looking at
all your ideas are very welcome ;
case silverstone tj09 -nice airy case- rendering causes things to get hot! especially if its rendering for 24+hours
cpu Intel Core 2 Duo E6700 2.67Ghz ?
cpu cooler ANY IDEAS???
motherboard Asus P5N32-E SLI? --im looking for a reasonable overclocker+sli option for a future 2nd 8800
memory ?????help need here??? 2 gig dual channel minimum
powersupply Zalman ZM600-HP 600W ATX Heatpipe Cooled PS
GFX nvidia 8800gtx/gts ??
hard drive WD 500g x2
dvd writer asus sata
one last thing,, i live in wellington, New Zealand . the total price for all those components is roughly $3500 NZ dollars , my budget isnt too tight but please dont suggest a component if its the super top maximum part as i dont want to have to sell any limbs
thanks for your time
