Hi All,
Just wanted to say a quick thank you first to the entire [H] community I have used this forum countless times over the years and the wealth of knowledge available is an amazing thing. I have built a few computers for myself, friends and family members and everytime I do I turn to this forum for advice.
For this most recent build I would like to thank specifically HardwareGuru, tiraides, and enginurd...While I was researching post after post of people looking for suggestions on builds the three of you had multiple posts that stood out and were extremely helpful, so much so that I didn't even need to start a thread of my own before making my decisions. Many of your posts not only included great information about what to buy and why, but also suggestions on where to buy which helped me to save some coin.
As fot the build I went with....
- Intel Q6600
- Western Digital 640GB SATA 3.0Gb/s
- SAMSUNG 20X DVD±R DVD Burner SATA
- ZEROtherm Nirvana
- ABIT IP35 Pro
- EVGA 512 GeForce 8800GTS
- G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 800
- Corsair 550w power supply
- Cosmos 1000 Case
= Came to ~1,200 when everything was said and done
So far I am extremely happy with what I went with, I put this system together about 2 weeks ago and have been spending some time overclocking and am currently running at 3.13ghz. I am still going to do a little more stress testing before calling it quits, but for now this looks like what I am going to keep it at.
Anyway I hope this will serve as another suggestion for a build for people as well as a nod to those that helped put it together.
Thanks, Happy Building!
