Hey everyone,
I'm planning on putting together a new rig. I've always been with AMD, but I decided to switch over to Intel and finally get a rig together.
I need some expert advice on the hardware that I want to get.
So far I have these picked out:
Antec Performance One P180
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129154
$114.99
(Currently I have a Antec Sonata II, but I don't think it will cut it for this rig)
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115017
$274.99
Also, Since I will be overclocking the Q6600 I would need a new HSF aswell, any advice on that would help.
Power Supply
(Since the P180 doesn't come with a PSU I need some help picking out a power supply that will be more then sufficient for the hardware I want to get.)
G.SKILL 4GB(2 x 2GB)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231145
$114.99
Motherboard
(I have no clue whatsoever which current intel boards would go well with the Q6600 overclocking wise)
EVGA 512-P3-N802-AR GeForce 8800GT
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130319
$289.99
As I mentioned earlier I will be over clocking the Q6600 and the rig will be used mostly for gaming and editing.
If someone could go over the list and check if the items are something that I should be getting, or perhaps something else that might perform better.
Thanks in Advance
