Computer Build #2

[69ers]

well I'm building a new computer but I'm comfused now T.T right now I got...

Intel Quad Core Q9550 ...

but now i don't know what else to do.

i shop at canada's computer at brampton but i don't know which to buy now...

Now i need a ...

Video Card * thinking about ATI Radeon 4370x2*
HDD *Seagate 650Gigs 7200 RPMs* or so.
Mother Board * no idea*
4x2 Gig Ram DDR2
Power supply *i saw a cheap 750 for 100*
Antec 900 gaming case
also should i get 2 random optical drives?
What else?

Well first of all... what is the budget?

 

[69ers]

roughly 1500?

for that price range i'd advise:

video: 4850
mobo: p45 based mobo (like p5q-pro)
ram: 2 x 2gig (get whatever pc6400 has a nice price tag)
hdd: 640gig WD (it'S like 88$ at directcanada.com)
dvd: you just missed a great promotion on the GH22LS30 by LG. The GH22NS30 is still a good option though. I'd advise against 2x optical drives. Hardly worth it nowadays.

if you shop in canada, try www.shopbot.ca (it doesn't parse www.newegg.ca though, so check them up too).

does the $1500 count the 9550 you already have?

either way you could probably get a 4870, and an antec case and power supply, check the combo's @ newegg.
