Hey guys,
So I'm looking to do a couple of upgrades with my current system and wanted to see if what I plan to do is really worth it right now or if I should wait for something better? I would be building the following system with these parts;
Intel Core 2 Q9300
Intel DP45SG Mother Board
WIndows Vista Ultimate 64bit
8GB OCZ Fatality PC2-6400 DDR2 (4x 2GB)
2x BFG 9800GTX+ OC GPUs
2x Seagate 750GB Hard Drives
SoundBlaster Extreme Gamer Audio Card
Antec Quattro 850 PSU
Antec Nine Hundred Two Case
Zalman CNPS10X Extreme CPU Cooler
So that's it, I'm still learning a lot of things going along like overclocking, raid and things that can make or break my rig. I am an avid gamer playing games like Crysis, Bioshock and Prototype but more so a freelance graphic designer working with Photoshop and Illustrator on the daily.
As of now, I own all parts listed in my current system and will be only purchasing the Q9300 and the DP45SG mobo for $150 brand new.
Now I ask you this, is this a crazy deal that I should just pick up, build and stop asking questions or should I pick up an i7 and work around that? Any suggestions or comments would be a great help.
