Hi Guys,
Technology moves so fast in 4 years...it's like reading another language now.
Here's what I need:
1. Processor - I think I've decided on the Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650
2. Video Card - I think I'm going with the NVIDIA Geforce GTX 280
3. Sound Card - ????
4. Case - ????
5. Memory - ?????
6. Disk Drives - ????? (I kinda like having 2 hard drives...maybe even in a RAID 0 config...thoughts?)
Anything else I'm forgetting? I'd ap preciate some help filling in the blanks.
I typically like to stick with mid-high range parts, as I feel this is the best value. I'm looking for the best bang for the buck... under $1500 total.
I'd apprecaite any and all input.
Thanks!
Dan
P.S. The computer will be used for occassional gaming on Vista 64 bit. I also do some sound processing and mixing using Guitar Rig and Nuendo... and I use MIcrosoft office, etc...
