Hey folks I'm thinking of putting together my next PC to replace the 7 year old machine I'm using now. Mostly I'm looking to save a little money over a pre-built machine by only getting the components that i need. I don't really see myself overclocking or anything so am mostly looking for components that will play nice together right out of the box without TOO much tweaking. Anyway here is what i was thinking:
GIGABYTE GA-965P-DS3 LGA 775 Intel P965 Express ATX Intel Motherboard
Intel Core 2 Duo E6700 Conroe 2.66GHz LGA 775 Processor
Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800
Sony NEC Optiarc 18X DVD±R DVD Burner Black E-IDE/ATAPI Model AW-Q170A-B2
Antec Sonata III Black 0.8mm cold rolled steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 500W Power Supply
2x Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3320620AS (Perpendicular Recording Technology) 320GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM
Atech Flash Xm-4U 11-in-1 USB 2.0
And I'm going to use an nVidia 7600GT video card i have from an old machine. You guys see any compatibility issues with those components or anything that i'm missing? It's going to be a dual boot machine (Windows/Linux) thus the two harddrives. I'd like it to be able to play new games but it's not a total gaming machine. I mostly will use it as a day to day machine as well as for semi-serious photo editing.
Anyway any thoughts would be much appreciated before i pull the trigger on this stuff.
Thanks!
Chris
