Hi all and greetings from Germany!
I am currently saving money for a new computer that I am wanting to build.
This is what I have been thinking about, so any ideas or suggestions are greatly welcomed!
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550
MoBo: Gigabyte GA-X48-DQ6 (to take advantage of PCIe 2.0)
RAM: 4096MB DDR2 Corsair Twin2X CL 5, PC6400/800
PSU: Corsair TX750W 750 Watt
GPU: XFX GEFORCE GTX 280 1024 MB DDR3 PCI-E 2.0 or wait for the 4870x2 to come out
HDD: I am thinking about having 2 Samsung HD502IJ 500GB hard drives or 2 1 terrabyte hard drives.
Sound Card: Creative Sound Blaster X-FI Xtreme Audio
Case: suggestions wanted. It should be a full tower to allow good cooling.
Cooling: help needed here. What would be better today, water or air cooling?
I currently have a Samsung SyncMaster 223BW widescreen and am thinking about keeping it for this new build. I will be mainly using this build for games, watching movies, photoshopping, listening to music etc.
Like I said, any suggestions are welcomed!
