New computron

[cahl]

1x Asus P5W64-WS PRO, I975X, Socket-775, ATX, SATAIIx8, 2xGbLAN, DDR2, 4xPCI-Ex16
2x Crucial DDR2 BallistiX PC6400 1024MB CL4 ,2.1V, 128Megx64, 240pin, 800mhz, E.P.P
1x Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 2.13GHz Socket LGA775, 2MB

And do I need to change the PSU? (See signature)
Also, my Zalman 9500, does it need replacing?
I think I'll keep the current graphics card and the harddisk's for now.
As far as I can tell, I975X is the "best". The Nvidia 680 doesn't seem to get as good reviews?
Also, someone mentioned that the intel cpu's might be dropping quite a bit, soo .. should I wait?

Any suggestions?

- No, your PSU should be enough
- No if you still have the socket 775 brackets that the Zalman came with.
- The 975X isn't the best nor the worst. The 680i is still a bit unstable IMO. I recommend the 650i. It looks like a more stable version of the 680i but comes with the same overclocking ability
- Yes you should wait. Intel prices drops are going to be on April 22nd. So just wait a few more weeks until you buy that CPU.

Aha. Guess I'll put it on hold for a month or two then. Since prices probably will drop a 'lil slower in Yurop.
Will also look into the 650 ^^
