Well...
Today I went ahead and purchased most of the parts for my new build.
Gigabyte P35-DS3L
XFX 8800GT 256 MB
2 GB Crucial DDR 800 Ballistix
WD 320 GB 16MB Cache 3.0Gb/s
Antec Earthwatts 500W PSU
I have decided to wait a couple days to buy my processor. During that time I am comtemplating what I want to do... The reason I am waiting is I wanted to get a E2200 so I could get an 11x multiplier. I need to have the computer up and running before Dec 21st so I can't wait for that processor forever. I talked with Newegg and the may have them in tomorrow or Monday but.. it could be another week before they get them.
My question is this:
Should I wait for the E2200, buy a E2180 or.... just buy a E6850 and spend the extra money which would put me WAY over budget.
Any suggestions?
