Hey!
Building this system (any feedback on the choices are welcome)
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 (link) ------------------------------ $189
Motherboard: GIGABYTE Intel P45 (link) --------------------------- $115
Video Card: GeForce 8800 GTS (link) ------------------------------ $170
RAM: 4GB (2 x 2GB) G.SKILL DDR2 1066 (link) ---------------------- $55
Case: Antec Nine Hundred Black Steel tower (link) ----------------- $110
Fan (cpu): Zalman 9500A (link)----- $46
Harddrive(s): WD 640GB 7200 rpm SATA (link)---------------------- $75 (x2)
DVD-ROM/Burner: Samsung Black 22x DvD+R with Lightscribe (link)--- $25
Floppy Drive: Sony Black 1.44MB 3.5" (link)-------------------------- $8
I'm on a tight budget so I'm trying to squeeze in a little money saving on the PSU. The choices I stand between are:
Cooler Master 750W ATX12V ($149) and CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W ATX12V ($119) (link and link)
For the price differences you'd think I'd get a better PSU if I went with the CoolerMaster, but considering the specs, they both are equally qualified for the system. Although you guys probably have a better eye for these things than me, so please do share your insight on this dilemma.
And oh yah, if you have any suggestions on the config, don't hesitate to mention them! I am not going for a high end computer but rather one that lasts for a couple of years of intense Photoshop/Painter/Maya work.
Thanks guys!
