Choosing new pc

[TkC]

Well, after almost 5 years with this pc its getting so crappy to play those new games, so im going to buy a new one, i made this at alternate.es store but im not sure about this motherboard and the ram memory. What do you think about it?

Core 2 Quad Q9450 4x2666MHz Bus: 1333MHz (Quadpumped) 45nm
GigaByte GA-750SLI-DS4
4x OCZ DIMM 1 GB DDR2-800 CL3 4-4-15
EVGA GF8800GTS Super Super Clocked 512mb
2x Seagate ST3500320AS 500gb 8,5/32/7200
Samsung SH-S203D
Thermaltake Toughpower 700W
Lian Li PC-60B Plus II

1.196€

Thanks.

Other motherboards i toke a look were GigaByte EX38-DS4 and Asus P5KC. And id like to know if its so important to get a motherboard with PCIe 2.0 or not.

Looks good. Except you might consider getting 2x2gb sticks instead of 4x1gb. They cost around the same, and it's always good to leave yourself room for upgrade. For motherboard, I'd recommend EX38-DS4, or another board with x38 chipset. It runs at 1600mhz fsb natively, leaving room for overclocking or high end cpus (1600mhz fsb) upgrades. It does not support SLI, however, only Crossfire. The 750i chipset supports SLI, but provide little to no overclocking headroom. For SLI it's best to get a 780i board, which allows moderate overclocking.

I'm not goin' with one of 700 chipset series from nVidia at the moment, just go for x38 or if you kinda short of budget, then go for P35

2x2GB is better. same price, same performance, less power, and you still have 2 extra free slot for your future usage.

EVGA GF8800GTS Super Super Clocked 512mb
Good.

2x Seagate ST3500320AS 500gb 8,5/32/7200
They are the best price and performance in the market right now.

Samsung SH-S203D
Good

Thermaltake Toughpower 700W
Tagan, corsair, and enermax are much better.

Not a problem, it is only a matter of taste.
