I'm (trying to) build my first custom computer. I want quad processor and 2-4GB of RAM. I'm trying to keep it around $1000. Here's what someone has recommended to me so far:
Core 2 Quad Q6600 289.99
Gigabyte DS3R 129.99
Crucial Ballisitx 109>69.99 (40 dollar rebate)
Thermaltake Tsuanmi 109.99>89.99 (after 20 dollar rebate)
Seasonic S12 550W 129.99
Pioneer DVD +/- RW 33.99
8800GTS 289.99>269.99 (20 dollar rebate)
I also may need a new HDD. If I do, what brand would you recommend? How does this list look to you?
