Hello, so i finally decided to build a desktop. Im looking at 1500 to spend on it and would really want it to be a computer that I can just simply upgrade later instead of rebuilding a whole computer over again.
Basically I hate slow computers. Nothing makes me more mad then when Im trying to do multiple things at once and the computer locks up...So i really want a Quad. I plan on doing a little overlocking also, so a good motherboard to achieve this goal would be great. I dont know how affective 4GB over 2GB of RAM or if DDR2 is still good memory but for 100$ 4GB seems pretty good.
Ok so heres what I have so far. Any Feedback, comments, tweaks, or helpful tips would be greatly appreciated as I am still kind of a newb at this whole thing.
Q6600 (Hopefully will give me the kind of Multitasking Im looking for)
ASUS Maximus Formula (SLI is a little expensive for me, Is there another board that isnt as much and is a good overclocker?)
eVGA 8800GT 512MB (Cheap and should run all my games how i want to run them)
Thermal Take Toughpower 700W (I dont know if this is too much power but i heard this was a good PSU. If this can be exchanged for something cheaper then please help as this is like 180$)
SEAGATE 250GB 32MB Cache (heard 32MB Cache was really good ><)
Patriot 4GB DDR2 800 4-4-4-12 (I dont know if going for 4GB instead of 2GB but for $100 it just seems worth it. Enlighten me on this subject please)
DVD Burner
22" Widescreen LCD Monitor (Had one and loved it. Perfect size for me for the perfect price.)
Antec 900 (Had this case, and to be honest i hate it... all it does is collect dust..if you can help me change this id be greatful. its going for $119 so if you can find something thats better for the same or less please do)
So thats the computer I dont know how it all looks but right now its at a little over 1500 and heres the bad news...i live in alaska now and to ship all of it here is like 250...when its only 35 to my old place so after shipping its around 1750....so any positive tweaking would be great!
thanks in advance!
