Ok well my comp in my sig has died i think and i'm thinking about taking the oppurtunity to get a new one. I play some games like cs 1.6 and maybe the new cod when that comes out but definately not as much as i used to, its more just for everything, gaming/videos/etc.
i want to try to keep the budget down since i didnt really plan on my copmuter dying but heres what i have so far. Feel free to make suggestions in the same general price range. I havent really done any research on the new hardware since i built my last computer in my sig so i'm a bit out of it. thanks
Proc - Intel Core 2 Duo E6750
Newegg.com - Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 Conroe 2.66GHz 4M shared L2 Cache LGA 775 Processor - Retail
Mobo - MSI P35 Platinum
Newegg.com - MSI P35 Platinum LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail
Videocard - I was gonna go with eVGA GeForce 8800GTS 320MB
Newegg.com - EVGA 320-P2-N811-AR GeForce 8800GTS 320MB 320-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Retail
but everything i've been reading is saying wait for the 8800 gt since it'll be equal or better performance for cheaper.
Ram- I also have a question here. theres this Newegg.com - Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail
and this
Newegg.com - Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail
which to me seem very similar but one is 55 dollars after a rebate and the other 105. is the performance gain worth the price?
Power supply - Corsair 520w
Newegg.com - CORSAIR CMPSU-520HX ATX12V v2.2 and EPS12V 2.91 520W Power Supply 100 - 240 V UL, CUL, CE, CB, FCC Class B, TUV, CCC, C-tick - Retail
case - cooler master
Newegg.com - COOLER MASTER Centurion 5 CAC-T05-WW Black/Silver Aluminum Bezel, SECC Chassis ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Retail
I just bought a new hd for my computer thinking it would fix the problem so i'm gonna use that in this new build (seagate 250 gb) as well as use my old cd drive and sound card.
so thats my plan. anyone with better understanding of the hardware industry go ahead and substitute wherever necessary.
thanks for reading!
