so i have been keeping busy with building a new system from scratch, but i would be stupid not to have it checked by someone who actually knows what he's talking about
i'm still having some doubts about some parts so i'll post the options i have in mind, but if you got a better option for me, i'm all ears
keep in mind this is a gaming & multimedia rig
case : antec threehundred = 56€
or
antec ninehundred = 107€
psu : Enermax PRO-82+ 525W = 97€
mobo : Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS3 S775 P35+ICH9 S775 FSB 1333MHz PCIe ATX = 73€
cpu : Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450 = 246€
( would it be wise to switch to a quadcore or should i stick with a highend dual core? for ex. )
Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 = 175€
ram : 2x2048MB OCZ DDR2 800MHz CL5 = 88€
hdd : 500GB Seagate ST3500620AS Barracuda 7200rpm 16MB SATA = 55€
gfx : 512MB Club 3D Radeon HD4870 GDDR5 256bit DVI HDMI PCIe = 238€
or
512MB Club3D Radeon HD4850 GDDR3 2xDVI TVOut PCIe = 153€
i'm planning on eventually running this system on a dual boot of win xp pro sp3 x64 and windows vista corp x64
thanks in advance for the help
