Hi everyone,
First I'd like to thank all those who have given their advice so far. I think I've finally picked out all the parts I want. Here is a link to my original post for this build. All prices are in Canadian $.
Intel Core i7 920: $339.99
Asus P6T SE: $249.99
OCZ 6Gb PC-3 10666 DDR3 Triple Channel Platinum Low-Voltage Edition: $119.99
Antec Sonata Designer 500: $179.99
Antec Earthwatts 500 (included with case)
Western Digital Black 640gb HDD: $84.99
Optical: DVD +/- RW DL, SATA, Lightscribe - will be chosen while at the store: ~$30
Scythe KAMA FLEX Fan 92mm (1600rpm): $9.99
XIGMATEK Dark Knight-S1283V: $49.99
Video Card: Galaxy 8800gt, carried over from previous build.
Final Total (including shipping charges): $1096.93
So what do you think? I plan on experimenting with a conservative overclock on the the CPU (3.00 or 3.33 Ghz). Is the cooling sufficient? Is the PSU up to the task? Any advice or last minute observations? Is this build a go or a no-go?
Thanks again for all the help!
