hey all,
so im doing an overhaul of my system, and i think im going to just start and order everything later today... i was going to wait until the NZXT Tempest came out, but... im tired of not being able to find one... so later on when i get mine, ill post pics of my new parts in that too... but in the meantime, heres my more or less final list of parts that im going to order off of newegg tonight:
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6700 Kentsfield 2.66GHz LGA 775 95W Quad-Core Processor Model BX80562Q6700 - Retail (*QUAAAD, woot! comes with UT3 too :])
$279.99
ASUS RAMPAGE FORMULA LGA 775 Intel X48 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail (dont wanna deal with the BIOS on the Maximus... so w/e )
$299.99
SILVERSTONE SST-ST60F ATX 12V 2.01 & EPS 12V 600W Power Supply - Retail (should be enough to run this system, yes?)
$119.99
and then im picking up these too:
ARCTIC COOLING MX-2 Thermal Compound - Retail (good stuff, right?)
$6.99
Arctic Silver ACN-60ML (2-PC-SET) Thermal material Remover & Surface Purifier - OEM (to clean up my old chip for sale, and prep this one)
$5.99
well, there it is... that, plus my old 8800GTS and i should be in pretty good shape... and im gonna upgrade that in a couple months (prolly to a 9800GTX), and then summer.... liquid cooling
so those are my plans... ill post pics once my parts come in (newegg, so prolly sometime this weekend... gotta love 3-day shipping :happy and then once theyre installed... and then new benchmarks when im done... wish me luck! - RK
ps, if you have any final, urgent advice on parts before i buy, speak up now or forever hold your peace! haha
