I am hoping to get 4-5 years of gaming use out of this as I did my current rig, and may attempt to overclock. I was hoping to build something which could easily upgrade later.
• Do these look good and work together?
• What is the best mobo and ram for this set up for several years of use?
• I want Vista 64 and 4 gigs of ram, what’s the difference between 4 x 1 verses 2 x 2 gigs in simple terms?
• Will the case hold the largest video card when I upgrade later?
• While there is always something around the corner, I don’t have to do this now. Is their anything around the corner that’s for sure worth a delay?
For now I will use my old video card, monitor and sound set up.
I read you guys often and this is my starting point:
LIAN LI PC-60APLUSII W Silver Aluminum ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
PC Power & Cooling Silencer 750 Quad (Black) EPS12V 750W Power Supply
Western Digital Caviar RE WD5000ABYS 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB
Sony NEC Optiarc Black 18X 2MB Cache SATA 18X DVD±R DVD Burner, OEM
Microsoft Windows Vista 64-Bit Ultimate for System Builders Single Pack DVD - OEM
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield 2.4GHz 2 x 4MB L2 Cache LGA 775 Processor
Thanks in advance for your help.
