I'm looking at building an all-around PC, for gaming, music creation, movie watching, Photoshop/Illustrator usage. Would like opinions on MoBo and Power Supply, and comments on anything else that looks out of whack. I'm trying to stay close to $1500 - not going over $2000.
Here's the list of what I'm thinking:
CPU Quad Q9300 Yorkfield 2.5GHz $250@MicroCenter
Memory CORSAIR Dominator 2GB DDR2 1066 $45@MC after rebate
Case Nine Hundred ATX $95@MC
PS Something in the 750w range
CD-ROM LG blu-hd-dvd read/cd&dvd write $179@newegg
HD SATA 500gb X 2 $200
MoBo nForce 780i SLI $260@MC
Graphics 8800 GT X2 $360 already purchased
OS XP Media Edition $120@newegg
Cooling fans - Recommendations?
Using my existing Sound Card and monitor
For memory, I'd put in 4 Gb, but I'm wondering if XP ME comes in a 64bit flavor - anyone know?
Thanks for replies.
