Hi there. Just been looking to get a new build and taking out some parts from my old PC so that I have 2 PC's. 1 to take away with me to university and 1 for home.
The new PC I am looking at is as follows:
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600
Gigabyte GA P35-DS3P
300 Gb Seagate ST3300822AS Barracuda 7200.9, SATA300
Antec 900 - Nine Hundred Ultimate Gamer Case w/o PSU
I will take the 7900gtx from my old PC to put in this one along with my sound card and 1 of the hdd.
I need some help in deciding what RAM to use. It needs to be DDR2 800mhz. I was lookign at some corsair ones but I been hearign a lot about these g skill and crucial RAM's etc... They seem to be cheaper too. I could do with some suggestions for this. Oh and I may plan on overcloking in the future too.
Also I need some help with power supply. Too many to choose from!!!!
The RAM and power supply have to be from a UK based shop to make life easy for me lol.
Oh and will stock cooling be sufficient for me? Should I replace the case fans with better ones? I want to keep my system as cool as possible without the need for watercooling. Is the stock HSF good for as long as I don't overclock?
EDIT: I know about the new line of core 2 duo's coming out but I don't see the point in waiting for them as there is not that much of a performance gain over the current ones from the reviews I have read. And I have no idea of how much the price drop will be for the 6600 that I am getting. If it is going to be like £20-40 then I won't bother waiting.
