hi guys, this is gonna be for my cousin now and he has a good budget.
He has given me his needs and im gonna post it now:
"In terms of needs, it's a work machine, but I'm a software developer and need something high-spec to run several instances of Visual Studio, SQL Server, SQL Server Management Studio, as well as lots of programs on startup for SSH, VPN, etc. A lot of these applications are very resource-intensive."
"This is what he was gonna get so far:
Intel Q6600 quad core CPU ($200)
High-end CPU cooling ($50)
Additional cooling fans, arctic paste, etc ($60)
Antec P182 Black case ($150)
Thermaltake 750w PSU ($200)
ASUS P5E mobo ($220)
FDD with card reader combo ($20)
Any DVD-ROM drive ($25)
Good DVD-RW Drive ($50)
WD Raptor 150GB 10k RPM SATA-150 HDD ($170)
Seagate Barracuda 750GB 7.2K RPM SATA-300 HDD ($250)
GPU- !?!?!?!?!?
4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)
$130Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-150 PCI Interface ($70)"
