Hello,
I am planning on doing my first build in about a week or so. I mainly surf web, watch movies, and encode alot of videos. I want to build a high end pc that will do everything I want with efficiency. I have done alot of research and put together a list of components for my build:
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 Conroe 3.0GHz 4M shared L2 Cache LGA 775 Processor - Retail
MOBO: GIGABYTE GA-X38-DQ6 LGA 775 Intel X38 ATX Ultra Durable 2, Ultra Cooling Intel Motherboard - Retail
RAM: 2 x Crucial Ballistix Tracer 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail
HARD DRIVE: 1 x Western Digital Raptor X WD1500AHFD 150GB 10,000 R6PM Serial ATA150 Hard Drive - OEM &
1 x Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD3200AAKS 320GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM
GPU- EVGA 256-P2-N751-TR GeForce 8600GT 256MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI Supported Video Card - Retail
POWER SUPPLY - OCZ GameXStream OCZ700GXSSLI ATX12V 700W Power Supply - Retail
CPU FAN - ZALMAN CNPS9700 LED 110mm 2 Ball CPU Cooler - Retail
I would appreciate it if anyone with experience could give me any input as to whether or not these components will suit my needs or if I should revise my list.
