Hey Guys,
Yeah another rate my build thread. Sorry but I didn't want to hijack one of the other folks' threads. I've put this off since last September waiting for new Intel CPUs and the new line of GFX cards to come out. If I keep waiting for the next big thing I'll never buy a new rig so I gotta sort this soon.
Anyways the intended specs are:
CPU - Intel E8500 (Would a Quad like the Q6600 be more advisable?)
GFX - 2x EVGA GeForce 8800GTS in SLi (Would a single 9800GX2 be better bang for buck?)
Mobo - EVGA nForce 780i SLI.
Case - Lian Li PC-A71B.
RAM - CORSAIR DOMINATOR 4GB(2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500)
PSU - Corsair CMPSU-620HX 620 watt PSU
HDD - Samsung Spinpoint F1 1TB Hard Drive (32MB Cache SATA-2)
Screen - Samsung SyncMaster 245B, 24", TCO03, 5ms, DVI
I left out the ancillary crap like kb, mouse, fans etc. I can sort them myself.
Any comments, recommendations, vitriol to fire my way ?
