PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: : newegg.com, tiger direct, US
PARTS PREFERENCES: no preference, best performance.
OVERCLOCKING: Maybe SLI, overclocking needs to be possible in 1-2 years.
MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1920x1200)
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Don't care for a sound card unless it can be gotten cheaply.
Basically I'm looking to overtake my current PC which is as follows.
Intel Quad core Q6600 2.4ghz
2GB DDR2 RAM
Nvidia 8800GT 512mb
P5N-e SLI mobo
It's two years old and it cost more than it was worth, I didn't get to build it myself so I want to build my next one myself. The next computer would be bought after the sale of this one so no salvaging parts except the ones I mentioned.
Thanks!
