Well, it's that time again (Woot! ). My old rig has been acting up for a while, and every day there is another problem, so it's time for a fresh build. I have the money so why not? I'd like to max out at $1500, being under is good.
This is what I'm planning:
e6850
ABIT IP35 Pro
2xGB Corsair-8500C5 Dominator
EVGA 8800GTS 640MB
Seagate Barracude 7200.10 500gb
Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer
Antec NeoPower NeoHE 550 watt
Zalman CNPS9700
Cooler Master Centurion 5 CAC
Lite-on 20x Black DVD SATA
I'll be gaming at 1680x1050 primarily. Is the Zalman 9700 over doing it? How about the gts 640mb for the resolution I'm running at? I'd appreciate any feedback thanks, I've been out of the game way too long.
