constructive criticism needed for new build

[liketokite]

Hello peeps.
I am making a list for a new gaming rig.Will some of you pro's have a look and please tell me if i need to change anything.I may do some overclocking in the future so i am hoping this hardware is a good choice for that.i am hoping to find a q 9400 instead of the q 6600 before i start to order in the next two weeks.Thanks in advance RB.

Looks nice except you should get MX-2 instead of AS5 and change your HDD to the Seagate 7200.11 500gb. Also change your cooler to the TRUE...Maybe a bigger monitor like a 24" 1920x1080... Looks good though

 

[liketokite]

UH OH! :] MX-2what ? LOL.Opposed to as5 what? And True what cooler? Do you think this thing will run Crisis? Not that i care.I am an UT3 guy.Thanks again.

Keep HDD its good Mav is just recommending a brand preference
MX-2 is a thermal paste
Change the CPU HS/fan to the Thermalright Ultra-120(you will have to buy a separate 120mm fan for it)

Newegg is almost always sold out of the TRUE's(Thermalright HS/Fans) so look elsewhere

Easily... Get MX-2 Thermal Paste instead of Artic Silver 5

This is the TRUE...Thermalright Ultra 120 eXtreme CPU Cooler for AMD AM2, Intel LGA775

Get it with this fan...Scythe SFF21F 120mm S-Flex Fluid Dynamic Bearing Fan 3-Pin 64CFM 28dBA (Out of Stock)

Change your Hard Drive to this...Newegg.com - Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 ST3500320AS 500GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM or this...Newegg.com - Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 ST3750330AS 750GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM

no point in running a 9800gx2 on 1680x1050 resolution.

 

[Prototype]

Get 9600GT SLI or 8800GTS SLI. both are great in 22"

 

[Guff1988]

The wd caviar you picked is a solid HDD...it performs as well as the 7200.11 and if im not mistaken is a little cheaper

 

[MaV II DARK II]

No... the Seagate 500gb is cheaper and performs better (I think)

ditch the 790i / ddr3 and get a x38 and good ddr2 and put the left over money into a larger monitor
