Hey everyone. Been visiting [H] for some time to keep up with what's going on, but haven't really had the occasion to post here in the forums. I'm (finally) putting together another system for myself. The last time I built one for me was in 2000... naturally, My old dual Slot-1, P3 933 isn't really cutting it any more. Here's what I've pieced together... any input (positive or negative) would be greatly appreciated!
Motherboard: Asus P5N32-SLI Premium
Processor: Intel E6700 (I'm considering QX6700... would it be worth it or should I upgrade to Quad-Core later?)
Memory: 2 x 2GB OCZ "Vista Upgrade" DDR2 800 (I want 4GB on two sticks... is 1066 worth the extra money?)
Power: 700W OCZ "GameXStream"
Graphics: EVGA 8800GTX
HD: 320Gb Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 7200RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s (Would there be any benefit in a WD Raptor 10k RPM @ 1.5 Gb/s?)
Optical: Sony 18X DVD Burner
OS: Vista 32-Bit Premium (I'm thinking alot of stuff won't be compatible with 64-bit)
Case: Cooler Master Mystique
So... Is this going to scream (like I think it is) or am I asking for trouble? Thanks!
