Ok folks, I'm 99% sure on this build, but just want some of your final input, if its all compatible, if it will fit, etc...all that good stuff. So here's what I'm thinking:
Case: Antec 900
Mobo: Gigabyte P35 DS3R
VGU: EVGA geForce 8800gts 640
PSU: Corsair 520HX
RAM: Probably Patriot Extreme 2x1gb pc6400
CPU: PROBABLY an e6750 when they come out, upgrade to a 32nm later
HDD: WD Raptor 74gb
Input: LITE-ON 20X DVD+/-R
Cooling: Tuniq 120
Monitor: Probably some Acer 20"
Thoughts:
I know I don't have alot of hd space, but I really don't use it, on my 80gb laptop hdd, i still have 45gb open, plus I have an external, so I really don't see the use in some 250gb internal that's not gonna be used for anything.
RAM is still up in the air for me...I'm not really sure what's compatible with the ds3r because some people have said ONLY use what the manufacturer says (which isnt a whole lot) and others say I can use whatever. Does anyone know if the patriot eXtremes work?
Also, I'll probably be gaming in 1680x1050 and I know the 8800gtx 640 is right on the cusp of being overkill for that reso, but I'm thinking for future games a larger vid card might come in handy even at 1680x1050.
Anyways, any and all thoughts are appreciated. Thanks.
(P.S. do you think I need to upgrade my psu?)
