I had a 1.5ghz 128ram 32mb video card computer for about 7 years and I decided it was time to upgrade. I decided to buy a brand new computer.
Please keep in mind this will be a gaming system !
Here are the specs:
CASE TT Armor Black ATX Full tower
CPU E8400 wolfdale 3.0ghz
Videocard eVGA 8800GTS 512 MB (G92)
Mobo Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L
Ram G.skill 4gb (2x2) DDR21000
HD WD Caviar 500GB 7200RPM 16m cache
PSU Corsair 650TX 650W
DVD/CD Samsung SH-s203b
Mouse G5 Logitech
Keyboard ANYONE RECOMMEND a good keyboard similar to G15, but it's too expensive. standard keyboard good enough? for gaming.
CPU cooling Planning to get the Thermalright Ultra 120-extreme, anyone know where to get it?
Soundcard- x-fi fata1ty , but a while after I get the system, going to test out mobo's audio
Monitor- Might go up to 24' but leaning towards samsung's 226BW 22'
Hopefully that's all I need so far. Trying to order all the parts today so I can work on this system over the next weekend.
Thanks in advance for any of your opinions ^^
P.S. forgot to ask for advice on CPU COOLING Alternatives ... I want to keep my system as cool as possible, so please tell me what to get. I'm not an expert at this.. brand new to this. THanks!
