Hi
I have made some changes to my last configuration, but since i have some doubts and few knowlegde about hardware, once more i ask for you opinion. I have to mount this rig till the end of this week cause the computer i have now is going to my brothers house.
First i want a computer based on the : Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450 - 2.66 GHz Skt775 . Im thinking about the future, cause i dont intend to make another upgrade soon (i dont mind if every month another hardware componet appears!). I will run Games, Photo Editing, eventually AutoCad, or some others applications evolving Audio.
Case: Antec Sonata III 500 W
Case fan: Evercool 120 mm EC12025M12EA
Hard Disk: im not sure but im thinking about the Western Digital 320 Gb 7,200 Rpm 16 Mb Sata 2, do you think is a good option or there is better? or maybe two disks?
Optical drive: Samsung SH-S203 20x Dual Layer LightScribe Sata Black
RAM: 2 x 2 Gb OCZ DDR2 PC8500 - 1066 Mhz Platinum XTC Do i have a better option?
Motherboard: Ok here is my main problem, i want a nice motherboard that can keep up with the Quad processor and RAM (I dont intend to Overclock or use SLI/Crossfire!, just use the stock configurations)
Graphic Card: Another issue here, i think i have four nice options (looking for budget) , HD3870, GF9600GT, 8800GT, 8800GTS, whats the best price/performance?
Well there it is, i just want something stable, reliable, fairly durable and based on the QuadCore. Give me an help.
Thank you
