Hi. well after nearly a month, reading reviews, reading forums, have finally finalized my build. But looking for some experienced eyes to have a roll through 
. Managed to scratch up some more money. I will be gaming on this system (latest and old games), apart from normal use.
CPU - Intel Core 2 Duo E6550 (2.3Ghz/Conroe/4MB/1333FSB/EMT64/XD/Dual Core)
Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3R
RAM - Corsair Micro - TWIN2X2048-6400C5DHX 800mhz (2x1GB)
PSU - Corsair Micro - CMPSU-620HX 620Watt
CASE - Antec P182
HD - Seagate Baracuda 7200.10 250GB 7200rpm SATAII (2x250GB)
GPU - Sapphire Radeon HD 3870 512mb (dual slot cooling)
DVD Drive - Pioneer - DVR-212
LCD- Dell 20" SP2008WFP (1680x1050 resolution)
Keyboard Mouse COMBO - Microsoft Comfort Curve 2000 Value Pack USB Black
[spaced it out for easier reading]
Reasons for buying:
CPU- Dont want to invest much on this, as maybe within 2 years, will upgrade to nahelam quad core
Motherboard - Want the raid option (I know it might be a waste, but have to experience myself to see)
RAM - Well people say its good
PSU - I plan to overclock my system later, and longer term plans are for CrossFire so want to be prepared
CASE - I liked the case
HD - (2x250GB) - Will raid this with the OS, only after i buy another drive as main storage (documents, videos, etc)
GPU - At 1680x1050 resolutions, I think this will be enough. Dont mind a slight drop in settings at this stage
DVD Drive - Was the cheaper one, dont really burn much (and budget contraints).
LCD- The Dell is a glossy screen with truelife. Had truelife on an inspiron laptop, loved it.
Keyboard Mouse COMBO - Well budget constraints :I
I have pretty much tried to keep a balance between the different components (due to budget constraints). I guess some minor tweaking could be done, and would really appreciate any feedback, comments or suggestions. THANKS
EDIT: I do plan to overclock the system. I would probably go for CrossFire later in 2009 when i update to a quad core.
(have other concerns regarding static, but will post in another thread, as thats a separate matter )
