hey guys am thinking about putting together this computer. i've been out of the game for a yr or two but this is what i came up with:
cpu: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield 2.4GHz LGA 775
w/ Rosewill RCX-Z775-EX 92mm 2 Ball PWM CPU Cooler
-or-
ZALMAN CNPS9500 LED 92mm 2 Ball Cooling Fan with Heatsink
mobo: Intel BOXD975XBX2KR LGA 775 Intel 975X
ram: G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)
G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)
hd: Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3320620AS 320gb 72k rpm 16mg cache
vid: EVGA 768-P2-N831-AR GeForce 8800GTX 768MB 384-bit GDDR3
sound: bluegears b-Enspirer 7.1 Channels
psu: OCZ GameXStream OCZ700GXSSLI ATX12V 700W Power Supply

rom: LITE-ON 20X DVD±R DVD Burner with 12X DVD-RAM
LITE-ON 20X DVD±R DVD Burner with 12X DVD-RAM
thats pretty much it. i have some questions tho. should i stick to the 72k rpm hd or move up to the 10k rpm? can i still use the mobo i picked out or need to swap it out? whats the best way of cooling the GeForce 8800GTX? i hear runs **** hot. and should stay with xp pro or move up to vista 32 or 64bit?
please let me no what u think of this build and if there is anything that i should change and/or forgot. thanks for the advice.
