I'm coming off a 6 month deployment and am getting a present for myself when I get back (less than a month now) and have been looking at things on newegg for the past few months and have came down to this:
PSU: Antec TPQ-850 ATX12V / EPS12V 850W
Mobo: EVGA NVIDIA nForce 790i
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600
CPU Heatsink/Fan: ZALMAN CNPS9700 LED 110mm 2 Ball CPU Cooler
Video Card: EVGA GeForce 9800 GTX(G92) 512MB
RAM: CORSAIR 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR3 1333 SDRAM
Case: Antec 900
Sound Card: Creative Sound Blaster SB0570 Audigy SE
Speakers: Logitech X-230 32 watts RMS 2.1
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 500GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache
Keyboard: Logitech G11
Mouse: Logitech G5
Monitor: Samsung 2253BW Black 22"
DVD Drive: Samsung SH-S203B
Comes out to around 2,000 which is the goal I had set before I started looking into my project. Any recommendations? Old computer is a XPS 400 that I'm giving to the wife so this isn't an upgrade. Reason for the mobo is I wanted one to support DDR3 1333 memory as well as have eSATA and Firewire ports for my external HD's. Biggest doubt I have is my PSU, would 650-700 W be enough or is 850 W perfect? Never one to overclock, I think this will be my first stab at it as well seeing as there's a lot of info on the Q6600 to overclock it safely.
