I'm on a bit of a budget this time. I'm thinking about going with an E2160, and OC it. I don't do any video editing or anything, and I don't play Crysis. If I game, it will probably be Bioshock, World in Conflict, Gunbound, albatros 18, WoW, or Quake Wars. So OCing this baby should work well enough.
Has anyone worked with this chip alot? I'm trying to find the best mobo/cooler combo for it.
I'll probably toss in a couple mid-range G8 series cards in SLi. $70-100 cards. Along with 4GB mid-range performance RAM from Corsair or Kingston or something.
Looking to spend under $1000 for all hardware including shipping.
EDIT: I should note that the reason im building a new one is that the one in my sig is screwing up and I cant figure out why. I get horrible slowdowns. If im using ANY bandwidth(upstream or downstream), or opening a program, or unzipping a file.
Like when i'm listening to music, if I start downloading something, or unzipping a rar file, then the sound slows down so badly that it gets garbled. The rig even locks up on weak games like Gunbound.
