Greetings one and all.
It has been many years since i guilt a new PC and i am way behind in the times. ive done some reading and think ive got the basics of whats went down since i build my last PC. so here goes the plan, ive started with a budget of 750$ to build a new box. i wish to overclock a bit on the CPU, but thats about it, any other overclocking to memory and video will be ok but not necessary.
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: This Week
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: , gaming, internet, movies)
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers,
PREFERRED WEBSITE newegg
PARTS PREFERENCES: Intel, Nvidia chip
OVERCLOCKING: Yes Prossesor
MONITOR RESOLUTION: max 1440x900, but may upgrade in a few months
heres what i got so far all this is from newegg glad to see some things haven't changed
Possessor: Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 Wolfdale 3.16GHz
CPCooling: ZALMAN CNPS9500 AT
Mobo: GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3L
Memory : 2X Mushkin 2GB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Model 991599
Video Card: MSI N260GTX-T2D896-OCv3 GeForce GTX 260
Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 ST31000528AS 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s
what do you guys think.? what should/could i do to tweak this and still stay in budget
these items put me at 680.00 Apox
so that leaves 70.00 for a PSU and a Case
im not picky on cases although i do want somthing smaller than my current case which is to large for my needs
PSU is an issue i need to research more but if i can get by with a mediocre one i will
Thank you all for your time and attention
