Hi everyone. I'm looking to upgrade my current machine, which currently includes the following components:
Antec P180
ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe
AMD 3700+ A64
eVGA 7800GT
1GB Corsair RAM
Antec 550W PSU
Plextor DVD-RW
Seagate 80GB
Creative X-Fi
19" ViewSonic LCD
I'm thinking about building the following system:
Gigabyte GZ-XA1CA-STB Case
Samsung DVD Burner w/ Lightscribe
Samsung 226BW 22" LCD
Seagate 320GB 7200.10
eVGA 8800GTX 768MB
Corsair 520W PSU
Corsair XMS2 2GB
ASUS Striker Extreme MB
Intel C2D E6700
Creative X-Fi
Total: $2150 with shipping
I haven't been keeping up lately with processors and motherboards; are the ones I've selected above good choices? I know the Asus motherboard might be a little over the top, but I couldn't find many others that had lots of features and still looked good. I've been trying to balance reviews that I've seen on professional websites and ones on Newegg; it sounds like the Striker Extreme should work though. Any other input would be appreciated as well.
Also, I'd be willing to sell my current computer that I talked about for $580 (just PM me if you are interested).
