Hi All,
These are the things that I have in mind for my New System Build:
Processor: Core i7 920 D0 (FIXED)
RAM: OCZ 6GB 1333Mhz
Graphics: I already have a 9800GTX OCX from BFG.
Cabinet: NZXT Tempest
Monitor: DELL Wide S2209W
HDD: WD 1Tb caviar Black
Three things I have not been able to come to a conclusion are:
CPU cooler: Cooler Master V8 OR Cooler Master Hyper 212 plus ( these are the only ones available near my place, I'm in Chennai, India)
If I would get a better cooler in Chennai please Advice.
Motherboard: This is my main point of concern, Due to budget constraints and availability problems I have 2 motherboards in contention
1. Asus Rampage II GENE microATX - My preference just because asus is reliable
2. Gigabyte GA-EX58UD5
While reading many forums many people have said don't go for asus, but I have not got a definite answer why!
Could you help me decide between them
PSU: please suggest cosair or cooler-master.
My Needs: I am a Gamer, a hardware enthusiast and I want to OC as well
Thanks,
Suraj
