Alright, so I have asked around a lot of questions on here and got much help, but I found a couple of new things that I wanted to ask about.
Here is the setup:
Gigabyte DS3L Mobo
Seagate 500GB Sata II 32MB Cache HD
Raidmax Smilodon Case
Q6600 OR E8400
Crucial Ballistix 2X2GB OR (2) 2X1GB
Corsair 620HX OR 520HX
Evga 8800GT OR 8800GTS G92
All of the OR's up there are the ones I am not sure about. Lets start from the top.
Q6600 Or E8400?
I will be multi-tasking, but the E8400 is faster, uses less heat and is better for games. I won't want to upgrade for atleast another 2-3 years, so I guess Q6600 right? Plus E8400 is sold out everywhere and the Q6600 is $199 at a store locally.
Crucial Ballistix 2X2GB Or (2) 2X1GB
Should I get (1) 2X1GB now and use 32-bit Vista, get 2X2GB and get 64-bit Vista, Or get (2) 2X1GB and get 64-bit Vista? I'm leaning towards 2X2GB as it only takes 2 slots, which means you can upgrade later, but it is $40 more. Is it faster in anyway?
Corsair 620HX Or 520HX
I was leaning towards the 620HX, but it has a $169.99 price tag and that's a little steep. There is a $25 MIR though. Or should I get the 520HX which is $129 or so. I was thinking of getting 620HX as I might upgrade later, and I wouldn't want to upgrade the PSU while I'm at it. Would it be worth it or would the 520 be strong enough? I also found the 520HX for $75 shipped new, so I am kind of leaning towards that. Yes or no?
EVGA 8800GT or 8800GTS G92
What GPU should I get? Right now I have a POS 64mb DX7 Card and wouldn't really mind graphics if they weren't top notch, but is there really a big, noticeable difference between these 2 cards? The 8800GT is $190 after MIR and the 8800GTS G92 is $240 after MIR. Is it worth the extra $50? Please let me know!
Those are all my questions, if you could please answer them in the same order as listed, that would be awesome. Thanks a lot Tech-Forum Members!
