This new hardware is making me nuts! It used to be so easy to pick components for a new rig. Nowadays, you never know who is coming out with what and where where the industry is going.
Anyways, here are the components I'm considering for a new build:
Intel E8500 Core 2
Nvidia 790I MB
Not sure on ram yet, but want 4GB of DDR3....any suggestions?
Nvidia 9800GX2
150GB Raptor X
This rig will mostly be used for gaming and "general" computer usage (internet, office apps, newsgroups, etc.) I have tinkered with overclocking but never really wanted to spend the time testing and tweaking so will mostly run at stock speeds.
The reason I'm thinking of using the 9800GX2 is because of the HDMI. I have an HD monitor and will be running @ 1920x1200 and if I want to watch HD movies or play games in HD it will help. In the future, I may add another card and engage SLI.
Hoping my 750W power supply will run this system. Any reason why it won't?
I am needing some good input on these components. Thanks!
