Long overdue System Overhaul...

At this current moment in time, nothing beats the price/performance ratio of the core2duo. An e6600 would be a much better investment than that 4600+.

Like you, I like AMD. If you were to opt to stick with them (something I did) then I say the system looks good.

Is there a reason you are getting the 65w chip?
 
No. I think I actually am going to get the 5000+ one instead. And yeah I rather stick with AMD..it hasn't let me down before and Intel has. :cool:
 
Don't get suckered in by the low prices of Intel! AMD ftw!


...that said, Intel IS a better price/performance ratio atm if your overhauling a system but don't tell anyone I told you that. :D

Its not so much the low prices that make intel a better choice at this moment, but rather the performance. The E6600 will outperform any amd chip at stock speeds, and even moreso at overclocked speeds. After performance comes the price. Now why pay more for something that will perform less? Ignorance is bliss.

I will take that as a go ahead and get it...


So are there any other suggestions?
 
A cheap old case with a blue tinted window that I got with my computer 4 years ago :p

The only suggestion I would make different (ie - faster) memory if you want to OC. If you are not OCing or, no OCing heavily on the memory, it all looks great. I won't try to talk you out of AMD even though I agree on the Intel.
 
The Seagate 7200.10 250gb drives should be faster than the WD drives. I have the 320gb model, and akin to the 750gb, it is fast... faster than my wd2500ks drive.

Thanks...I probably will change them then.

Don't plan on OC'ing...I never trusted myself enough to stop :p

And yeah I know the intel performs better but like I said. Intel chips have messed up on me 3 times before, and AMD has yet to have me complain. Just going to stick with AMD until they mess up on me :D
 
Do you think the Crosshair is a good AM2 board to get? Also do you think that the G80's will fit on those and not hit the SATA or cover the IDE spots because they are too long?
