Hi,
my friend asked me to help him building a new comp and that is what we were thinking about.
CPU: Q9450
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115042
Motherboard: Asus P5Q-e
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131296
RAM:2 set of those
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145184
HDD: 2 Seagate Barrucuda 500GB
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148288&Tpk=500gb%2b7200.11
DVD: Random samsung dvd writer
Video Card: Palit HD4870
PSU: Corsair 750w
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139006&Tpk=750w+corsair
Case: Nzxt Apollo
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146025
CPU Cooler: Xigmatech HDT-S1283
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835233003&Tpk=s1283
We live in Canada and we will buy our stuff mainly from directcanada and ncix for a total of 1550.
We were wondering if:
-any of you had any idea to improve it before we buy it (while keeping it in the same price range).
-is there any issue with the P5Q-E and the S1283?
-Does the S1283 comes with pre-applied thermal grease?
Only things we don't want to change are:
-CPU must be a quad
-We don't want to change the case unless some componants won't fit.
My friend is planning to OC his CPU to 3-3,2Ghz and change his video card along the road.
Any comments are appreciated, thanks.
