Currently I have a 939 DFI lp ut sli dr expert, with an Opty 175, 4 GB ddr RAM, a creative Audigy 2 sound card, and a gigabyte hd4850 GPU. Two older DVD drives, (IDE) floppy drive, and a 150 GB velociraptor along with a seagate 320GB 7200.10 drives are the drives. I'm using an Antec neo he550 for my PSU.
Overall a good system, but a little old... 4 years or so, and a little slow.
My proposed build would be along these lines...
MB, GIGABYTE GA-EX58-UD3R X58, newegg, 199 USD, 339 AUD inc GST, 339 (in stock @ itestate.com.au)
CPU, core i7 920, newegg, 289 USD, 490 AUD inc GST, 459 (in stock @ itestate.com.au)
RAM, Patriot PVT36g1600elk ddr3 1600 3x2GB, newegg, 175 USD, 300 AUD inc. GST, 239 (in stock @ itestate.com.au)
HSF, Thermalright 120 extreme 1366,(? about 120 AUD)
GPU, Gigabyte 4870 1gb, newegg, 259 USD, 439 AUD inc. GST, 460 (in stock @ HBOutlet.com.au).
Total, 1617 AUD ex shipping.
(Interesting to find we Aussies aren't getting raped too bad these days...)
Anyway, will my neo he550 work with this proposed setup? It has the horsepower, but how about the connectors? I've never even seen a 1366 MB, nor a 4870 1GB GPU
Any creative suggestions on the build overall would also be welcome
Thanks,
Croc
PS: all AUD prices were located via staticice.com.au, just turned out that itestate.com.au were lowest price or near so for many of the items and I've done some business with them before.
