I am currently in the market for rounding up all my parts, and I am in no hurry but I would like to see it up and running by the time I start up my next semester.
Anyways here is the list I have compiled that has taken 3 weeks to get it to where its at, and I wanted anyone to give any advice on waiting for different products, different parts in general or anything wrong with the setup. I originally was going to set it up with Nvidia but the Market for MoBo's is crap, so here it is:
Amd Phenom 2 X4 965 Black Edition
MSI 790FX-GD70
Thermaltake Spedo Advanced
Ultra X4 1200 watt
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
This is where I have to skimp till I get more money but bare with me:
OCZ Gold 2 gb or Corsair Value 2gb
Since I am saving money on original setup
I plan on using my old dvd and harddrive
which use IDE, and from what I checked the MSI board can hook up two IDE parts.
Then I have my current 9400GT(my 9800 blew out a couple of months ago)
and last but not least Corsair H50( if I have enought funds at purchase)
So pretty much the plan is to get a computer completely setup for CrossfireX and what not and then on my 2nd faze is to purchase my Cards and extra goodies.
With the cheap parts they will be out with in a couple of months if that.
So what do you think, should I change and go with Nvidia and get the G65 mobo or any remarks, advice, or if you think its dumb let me know!!lol
