Hey, so how does this system look? It'll be mostly for gaming, and programming. I'm fond of strategy games, like Dawn of War 2, Empire Total War and can't wait for SC2.
The following links are to NCIX.com:
Samsung SH-S223F/BEBS 22X Speed Plus Black SATA DVD Writer OEM
Antec Three Hundred
Western Digital Caviar Black 640GB
Gigabyte MA790GP-UD4H AMD790GX ATX
EVGA E-GEFORCE GTX 260 Core 216 55NM 576MHZ 896MB
OCZ FATAL1TY 550W ATX12V
OCZ Gold XTC OCZ2G10664GK 4GB 2X2GB DDR2-1066 CL5-6-6-18
AMD Phenom II X3 720 Black Edition
Xigmatek Dark Knight S1283
It comes to $1050 CAD on NCIX.com if I buy all the parts as is, and after some price matching i got it down to $925. Not sure how good they are on price matching, since I've never bought anything from them before.
Will all these parts be compatible?
Anything I should change?
Also, have Blizzard games in the past run better on ATI or NVIDIA graphics cards?
And what kind of thermal paste should i get for the CPU fan?
