OK main parts of system will be
Asus P5K Deluxe: thinking I might move to P5q Dlx or maximus II, or to get X48 varient
CPU Got a good deal on a Q9550 ES will keep this and see how it does for the moment.
HD 4850 GPU: do not have yet, but heard that there will be a new version with better cooling or can do aftermarket cooling. I am upgrading from a 1900XT
Ram: Crucial Ballistix DDR2-800 got them for $10 after rebate
Hard drive: need recommendations; I have a couple of old drives but may upgrade.
OCZ Vendetta 2 or Xigmatek S1284 achilles for now, possibly sunbeamtech varient.
Display: Samsung 204T: wanting to upgrade to at least a 24" or larger: need recommendations
I will be upgrading to a good water setup once i decide and find the parts I need; so any water cooling opinions appreciated. will be cooling CPU and GPU probably.
I think this covers the most critial parts. I appreciate any opinions. Thanks
