I currently have:
eVGA 256-P2-N528-AX Geforce 7800GTX 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Video Card
Antec SmartPower 2.0 SP-500 500W Power Supply
Western Digital Raptor 74GB
I am going to reuse that parts and upgrade on the 22 (with everyone else).
Here is the new parts:
OCZ Platinum 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory ($120)
Newegg.com - OCZ Platinum 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield 2.4GHz 2 x 4MB L2 Cache LGA 775 Processor
Newegg.com - Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield 2.4GHz 2 x 4MB L2 Cache LGA 775 Processor - Retail
(assuming on the 22 we get our price cut)
GIGABYTE GA-P35C-DS3R LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail (165)
Newegg.com - GIGABYTE GA-P35C-DS3R LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail
How does it look?
Will the Q6600 work with DDR3 (i am getting this mobo so that in the future i can buy DDR3 when it has lower latency and cheaper)?
Is there a better combo for the money (assuming Q6600 fall by 50%)?
Also, I don't plan on using SLI in the future.
Will the ram i choose have a problem with this mobo? It is not specifically listed on the manufactures site as compatible. But it is really good 1066 ram so I would assume it would work.
Is my PSU good enough or does anyone have a better suggestion (up to ~$80) that I should get.
