Hello all!
Firstly, wanted to say this forum has been great, helped a lot in putting together my new computer. I would like some advice of a few pieces though!
My computer use is about this:
15% games (used to be 95%, might move more into games again)
60% photoshop/design programs
25% web/apps
I wanted to build a good machine that would last me a while, but my budget is a bit small. Really like to stay under $800.
Below is my wishlist at newegg, and would love if you could look it over.
New Rig
A few things that I am split on is… getting the Q6600 for 300, or the E6420 for 186.
Also, I am not going to jump right into games, so I am not sure if I need a power house video card. I could likely use the one from my current computer which is Radeon X800. Is it silly to keep that vid card? Will it work well with my new board?
Is the memory I picked ok? Also, I did read about the Antec900, but really dont like the look so was going with the coolmaster Centurion 5, which seems good.
Thanks so much for your time!!
