So, I've decided to get into the computer building game. I don't see myself having enough money for anything until this coming summer, so I'm hoping part prices will come down by then (or new/better parts will come out). Anyway, here is my preliminary build, please tell me what you think and let me know if you have any suggestions.
Although this build is over, I am aiming for a >$1000 system (OS and Monitor included).
Mobo: ASUS P5Q Pro LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard
GPU: SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 4850
PSU: CORSAIR 750W (overkill?)
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield 2.4GHz Quad-Core
RAM: G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB)
HDD: Western Digital Caviar 640GB
Monitor: Acer 22" 5ms Widescreen LCD
DVD Drive: SAMSUNG 22X DVD Burner Black
OS: Vista 64-Bit Home Premium
Case: COOLER MASTER Centurion 5
Let me know if I've got parts that could be replaced with cheaper ones with no reduction in performance, thanks a lot guys.
-EDIT - cleaned up the HTML as soon as I could!
