Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 Conroe 2.66GHz LGA 775 Processor Model BX80557E6750
Antec earthwatts EA500 ATX12V v2.0 500W Power Supply
Crucial 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model
Foxconn P35A LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX Intel Motherboard
SUPER EASY BULLET LIST:
-Not looking to OC (much)
-No SLI
-RAID not needed
-Gaming oriented
-Vista/XP 64-bit
-Don't care about DDR3
I'm a gamer. I can't stand to play at medium or low. Settings must be at high for anything I play or else I get crabby. I don't care for SLi. My current box is SLi and I really didn't notice anything worth the price of two 7800GTXs (Thank god they were free). So I'm just going to be running it on one card, most likely nVidia.
I picked the E6750 because it was only $20 more than the 6550 and $100 less than the E6850. Seemed a no brainer. I picked out the board because it had all the features I wanted and it had a nice big $50 rebate. It also knocks $30 off the ram which additionally has its own $25 rebate.
I don't really need help (yet ) with anything beyond the MLB, PSU and -to a slight degree- the RAM. I'd like a critiquing of how this base system would interact or if theres an item to avoid.
Advice, tips, pointers, complaints?
