How's this for a new system build?

[rdefino]

I'm looking at building a new system for ripping burning DVD's. Converting moive to other formats. I will also use this for running VMware images for mock 2003 server network. It's not a gaming system. But I want something that fast.

What do you think?


LG 22X DVD±R DVD Burner Black SATA Model GH22NS30 - OEM

2 of these: CORSAIR DOMINATOR 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model

LOGISYS Computer Area 51 CS51WBK Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 450W Power Supply - Retail

ASUS P5Q Pro LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield 2.4GHz LGA 775 Quad-Core Processor Model BX80562Q6600 - Retail

I would not use a Logisys power supply in anything i wanted to keep running for any length of time. Get a better power supply.

Change the CPU to Q8300 or Q9400.

What's the reason? I would think the Q6600 would be a better choice instead of the Q8300. the 6600 has 2x4mb cache, Multimedia Instructions. Just wondering?

Thanks

Look at the benchmarks in the Q6600 vs Q8200. The Q8200 runs just as well, its cheaper and run cooler.

Why are you getting a crossfire board? You could just get a GA-EP43-UD3L for your intended purposes.

that does seem like a nice board. Would the memory "CORSAIR DOMINATOR 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel " work in this board?

Thanks

Should be fine.

It'll work fine, but Corsair Dominator ram is so expensive and you don't need 1066mhz ram...I would just get this:
