Hi im just starting to build my first system, and wanted some advice. I originally wanted the computer to run BF2 CS:source and AA:O, simple(er) games compared to whats out now. My friend howver talked me into building a "Rig" so ive decided to go with something a bit faster. I liked the idea of having a media center as well. (is vista any good?compared to xP)
I found all these things on newegg.
EVGA 132-CK-NF78-A1 LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 780i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield 2.4GHz LGA 775 Quad-Core Processor Model BX80562Q6600
EVGA 512-P3-N841-A3 GeForce 8800GTS (G92) 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card
Kingston HyperX 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1200 (PC2 9600) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model KHX9600D2K2/2G
Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3320620AS (Perpendicular Recording Technology) 320GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive
SAMSUNG 20X DVD±R DVD Burner Black SATA Model SH-S203B -
Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 w/SP2B
Can anyone recommend a decent PSU? Something with enough juice that i can add an additional graphics card in the future.
entire system will cost 1200 shipped (not counting PSU, Case, Fans, etc.)
Can anyone recommend anything for this system to make it even faster?
(please keep suggestions decently "priced")
