Hi everyone,
You may or may not remember me I posted about a month ago about a new "budget" gaming build. I finally got all the parts (actually waiting on PSU delivery) and would like to have a little input on my final selections (some of these were highly influenced by this board
Current Build Spec.
CPU – Phenom II X3 720 B.E. 2.8GHz Triple Core Processor – Stock Cooling (New)
MOBO – Gigabyte GA-MA790X-UD4P (New)
MEM – Gskill 4GB DDR2 1066 (PC2-8500) (New)
GPU – Sapphire 4850 1GB GDDR3 256bit (New)
HD – Western Digital Caviar Black 500GB, 32MB Cache, SATAII (New)
DVD – Lite-On 16X DVD burner – not SATA (from previous build may add an additional 22X soon)
Floppy – Yes (from previous build, may replace with card reader soon)
PSU – OCZ StealthXstream 700w w/Active PFC non modular (New)
Case – ThermalTake – SViking w/front intake 120mm fan and rear exhaust 120mm fan, fan controller, and digital temperature display. (from previous build – good case)
OS – Windows 7 64bit RC (free )
Monitor – Acer 19†WS (Already had)
Keyboard – Saitek Eclispse (USB) (Already had)
Mouse – Logitech Marble Mouse (Trackball, USB) (Already had)
Speakers – Boston Acoustics 2.1 Stereo Speaker (from previous build still sound good)
Printer – Lexmark – All-in-one Printer, Scanner, Fax (USB) (Already had)
Controller 1# - Wingman Force Feedback (USB) (Already had)
Controller 2# - Sidewinder Gamepad (USB) (Already had)
Battery Back-Up/Surge Protector – APC UPS 500 (I know old, but never used before. Was still in the box – seems to be working OK, but unfortunately no USB connection)
Any comments, thoughts, or tuning tips would be appreciated. Haven't ran this system yet as the PSU wont delivery until Monday. Everything else is assembled just waiting to put in the "heart" LOL.
