Hi all,
Currently, I'm in the process of shopping for new PC components, as I'm building my own PC.
Currently, I've ordered Intel Core 2 DUO E6600 "LGA775 Conroe" 2.40GHz CPU and a Akasa EVO 120 Heatpipe Copper Heatsink to go with it.
I'm also planning on purchasing Nvidia's Geforce 8800 GTX's little brother, the GTU, as I cannot afford the GTX.
I'm not planning on using SLI with two graphics cards, as I cannot afford it, hence why I'm just purchasing the one card.
I'm not 100% clued up on motherboards, though. I know I need to purchase either a Intel 775 (socket 975X or 965P) mobo, of some sort.
I've found two that I think will do for my needs, and are in my budget range, including the Abit AW9D-MAX Intel 975X (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 and the Asus P5B Deluxe (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard
Which one is better? Or is there a motherboard out there which you guys recommend which is in the £100 range?
I'm also planning on purchasing DDR2 PC2-6400 800 RAM, 2GB. Would this OCZ 2GB (2 x 1GB) PC2-6400 Dual Channel Platinum Revision 2 XTC suffice?
Thanks all.
