I am planning (after scouring this forum and others) and believe that what is below is a good build. I am a moderate gamer (NFS:3/4/PU, Morrowind, Oblivion, Caesar 3/4, SimCity 4, some sports games, Doom 3, unreal (Quake 1/2, Doom 1/2 if I could make them run on XP/Vista, any ideas?)),moderate surfer and and document/spreadsheet creator for work projects with an occasional PowerPoint and Access Db.
Here's the list:
MB -> GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX All Solid Capacitor Intel Motherboard - Retail $89.99
CPU -> Intel Core 2 Duo E6550 Conroe 2.33GHz LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor - $174.99-$5.00 Instant $169.99
MEM -> A-DATA 4GB(2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) Dual Channel Kit $84.99
OS -> Microsoft Windows Vista 64-Bit Home Premium for System Builders Single Pack DVD - OEM $109.99
HSF -> COOLER MASTER RR-CCH-L9U1-GP 92mm Hyper TX2 CPU Cooler - Retail $29.99 -$8.00 Instant $21.99
Subtotal: $476.95
I have a case/PSU/video card/optical drive/card reader/HDD/Ext HDD that are in good shape and fairly new. So, for what I need, do y'all think I've hooked up the right parts?
Thanks in advance. Kevin.
