I'm building a PC mainly for the game Age of Conan. My old PC of 4 years recently died, and I hadn't really saved up to build this, so I'm working with a budget. I'm looking for good bang for the buck. Heres what I'm thinking... I'm not going to list specific BRANDS because thats slightly too detailed for my rough draft.
Case: Antec Nine Hundred
MoBo: Asus Rampage (ORDERED AND WILL NOT BE CHANGED)
Procs: Intel E8400 (ORDERED AND WILl NOT BE CHANGED)
RAM : GSkill 4gig 1066
PSU : PC&P 610W
HDD: 2x 74gig WD Raptors (Salvaged from OLD PC, WON'T BE CHANGED)
GFX: 8800 GTS 512MB
HSF: Thermalright IFX-14 (BEST AVALABLE, WON'T BE CHANGED)
OS : Vista 64 BIT (Already Have it, Going to be playing DX10)
I know the draw backs to Vista, and 64 bit, but since Age of Conan is going to be released for 64 bit, I'll be using it anyway. I'm not a massacist, but I really don't think the drawbacks are that bad.
The Parts I'm still up in the air on, are, RAM, PSU, GFX card, CASE. But I've been looking for a while, and these seem to be my best bet for the money. I'd like to see what other PC builders think of this set up. All together its about $1200 for these parts as I've priced them lately.
