Hello everyone,
I have been doing some final decisions on my build, and I plan to start ordering some stuff pretty soon.
Here is what I'm looking at as of right now. I'm looking at around $1650. May try and do a little cost reduction. I'll be ordering some from TigerDirect and the rest will be at my local CompUSA. So onto my big question. Ive been reading a whole lot lately about different motherboards. Ive decided that I would like to go with a DDR3 setup for future upgrades. I do not plan to SLI. I'm looking for something with some nice overclocking and perfomance. Ive looked at the Gigabyte GA-P35-DQ6, as well as the MSI platinum. Do you guys have an reccommendations, advice, or comments , on my potential build? If so please let me know! Or if there is anything I'm missing. Thanks for your time!
Case: Antec Nine Hundred ATX (wishing compusa would have them for 79.99 again)
Motherboard: (???????)
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo Quad Q6600
Memory: Crucial Ballistix 2048MB PC6400 800Mhz (any opinions on patriot or OCZ?)
Hard Drive: Seagate 500GB 7200RPM
Video Card: EVGA GeForce 8800GTX
OS: Vista Home Premium
Power Supply: OCZ 700watt (pretty cheap for 109)
Sony DRU170C 18x DVD+/-RW
CPU Cooler: Zalman CNPS9500 LED
I have the following that I will transfer once it is complete
Creative Xfi Xtreme Gamer FPS
Logitech G5
Bose 3.1
Samsung SyncMaster 226bw
I listed these because I'm not sure if the things I've chosen would have any conflict with what I already have.
