Hey all,
This is my first build that I am doing on my on. I have always had custom computers put together by one of the many small computer shops in the Seattle area.
Here is my build so far:
CPU Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield 2.4GHz 2 x 4MB L2 Cache LGA 775 Quad-Core Processor - Retail $279.99
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115017
Motherboard ASUS P5E LGA 775 Intel X38 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail $229.99
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131219
Memory Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) $74.99
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820146565
Video Card EVGA 512-P3-N841-A3 GeForce 8800GTS (G92) 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 $339.99
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130312
Hard Disk Drive Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 ST3500320AS 500GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache $119.99
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148288
Case Antec Solo Black/Silver Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Retail $79.99
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129018
Power Supply CORSAIR CMPSU-620HX ATX12V v2.2 and EPS12V 2.91 620W Power Supply $169.99
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139002
Total: $1,294.93
I have actually been thinking of going with this power supply:
OCZ GameXStream OCZ700GXSSLI ATX12V 700W Power Supply 100 - 240 V - Retail $134.99
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341002
And I was thinking I should probably get a different case. I am willing so spend up to around $150 for a case, so if anyone can recommend one that has room for a large HSF (Like a Zalman or something) I would appreciate it.
I chose this motherboard mostly so because it looked like a good one, and it supports PCIe 2.0 which I wanted since the graphics card does too.
What do you guys think? Anyone see any conflicts with my hardware, or anything I should change? Anything I should add? I am willing to spend a little more money if necessary so feel free to make any and all suggestions.
Thanks for your time and help,
Rawket
