I'm not the one who wants this computer, but the one who does won't listen to me when I told him that he doesn't need all of this (as all he does is watch videos). With that, please give me some advice on this build:
Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3P LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650 3.0GHz 12MB L2 Cache LGA 775 95W
Heat sink: ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 Pro
GPU: SAPPHIRE 100281SR Radeon HD 5870 (Cypress XT) 1GB 256-bit
Ram: G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800
SSD: Intel X25-M Mainstream 2.5" 80GB
Case: Corsair Obsidian Series 800D
He already bought the PSU: CORSAIR CMPSU-1000HX 1000W ATX12V on his own.
I was thinking, maybe I should swap the mobo for another that supports ddr3 ram as well?
There is no budget, so if anything needs to be upgraded, please tell me.
Thanks!
