My brother is currently running an AMD 1.8GHz SC w/ 5700 Geforce.
He wants to build again, and he said if he does so, it will be a monster. I built a e6750/GTS/640gb/550w build yesterday on newegg for $1300 or so and he said that was cheap for a monster build. So his limit is probably $1600 or so...
He likes video games, not as much as me, but would love to play crysis. He does some video editing and dvd burning etc too.
What do you think of this build I have going here?
EVGA GeForce 8800GTX 768MB GDDR3 = $516.99 - $30 MIR
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield 2.4GHz = $319.99
Zalman 9700 110mm 2 Ball Copper = $59.99
MSI P6N SLI Platinum nForce 650i SLI = $149.99
4x 1GB WINTEC AMPX DDR2 800 = $179.98
Rosewill 550-2 2.01 550W = $55.99
SAMSUNG SpinPoint T Series 500GB 7200 RPM 3.0Gb/s = $119.99
Antec Performance One P180 Silver = $129.99
Saitek Black Eclipse Keyboard = $44.99
2x LG 18X DVD-R Lightscribe Burners = $63.98
Total: $1,566.89
He will likely want to wait until AMD comes out with something new or the 9800s come out as well for the prices to drop. Anything overkill or not enough?
Thanks!
