Sorry, yet another build thread!
I haven't upgraded in 3 years, so I've been way out of the loop in computer hardware. After some preliminary research, I've come up with the following of which I'm unsure. I'm still looking for a hard drive and a CD/DVD drive.
My goal is to have a strong gaming computer that'll last me a couple of years (with some upgrades if necessary). I just wanna run the new stuff - Crysis, Fallout 3, Stalker 2, etc. The full tower is a necessity for me, but I read that the antec 1200 is a little pricey for what it is, so an alternative full tower would be great too. Overclocking is in my future as well.
Here's the build:
Case: Antec Twelve Hundred Black ATX Full Tower Computer Case - Retail ($214.95)
Power supply: PC Power & Cooling S75QB 750W ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply - Retail ($120)
Motherboard: ASUS P5N-D LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 750i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard ($150)
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Wolfdale 3.0GHz LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor ($190)
Graphics: 2x EVGA 512-P3-N801-AR GeForce 8800 GT 512MB 256-bit ($320)
Corsair XMS2 4GB (2x2GB) DDR2 800 ($82)
Total so far ($1,107)
Help is much appreciated. I'm mostly trying to keep things under $1600, but I'll bend for good value. Thanks!!
