Hey i am just away to buy a new computer, and for the first time im gona build it myself. Was just wondering if someone could take a look at what im thinking about and let me know if its any good or if theres anything else you'd change or suggest.
Also i heard somewhere that the Quad Core processors only work well with a specific Operating System. Is this true? would it be better to go with vista or stick with XP Pro SP2?
This is my list of components:
Asus P5N-E SLI 650i Socket 775 Onboard Audio ATX
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 (2.4GHz 1066MHz) Socket 775 L2 8MB Cache (2x4MB (4MB per core pair)
Ebuyer 2GB Kit (2x1GB) DDR2 800MHz PC2-6400 240pin Extra Value Ram
Maxtor STM3160215AS 160GB SATAII 7200RPM 2MB Cache - OEM
Creative SoundBlaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio Soundcard - OEM
Samsung SH-S203B 20X DVD±RW/RAM / DL Serial ATA Black Bare Drive - OEM
Extra Value Gold 600W 12cm Fan Silent PSU - PFC 20+4pin
Antec Nine Hundred - Gaming Case with 200mm Top Fan - No PSU
Arctic Cooling AC-FRZ-7P Socket 775 CPU Cooler
(My graphics card is the Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTX but i already own that)
Thanks for the help!
