Well, my old desktop has finally given up on me, and the motherboard is discontinued so I will not bother. I shall miss the P4 goodness. So recently, I've been attempting to build a new machine. I am somewhat of a hardcore gamer, mostly of fps games so I will need quite a bit of power to run more recent games smoothly. I'm just looking for a bit of advice, seeing that I am not all that up to date on the new stuff. Take a peak at my newegg wishlist here:
https://secure.newegg.com/WishList/MySavedWishDetail.aspx?ID=7017525
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6700 Kentsfield 2.66GHz
Mobo: ASUS P5N-D LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 750i SLI
RAM: G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)
PSU: CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W ATX12V / EPS12V
Graphics: XFX PVT98FYDBU GeForce 9800 GTX Black Edition 512MB
HDD: Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD6400AAKS 640GB
From the looks of it, I will be getting an alienware case. I simply fell in love with it at first sight:
Alienware ALX Full Tower Silver PC Case 2.0 Chassis - eBay (item 380045348890 end time Jul-17-08 10:42:43 PDT)
I would greatly appreciate it if someone would recommend me an aftermarket cpu fan, and a vga cooler that would fit. I plan on ordering everything within the week so, comments, thoughts, and suggestions?
