I plan on building a new Conroe system by the end of July / early August, spending about £1500 (roughly $2,766.52).
I have chosen the following parts:
I have chosen the X1800 GTO because I don't want to spend a lot on another top end GPU when new DX10 cards from nVidia and ATi are close. If only my 7800 GTX didn't die on me FFS.
The X1800 GTO should be capable of playing the latest games at 1280 x 1024 at medium settings right? I can survive playing at a lower resoultion on my Dell 2407WFP for a few months lol.
One last thing, are there going to be any new signifcant features in the upcoming nForce 5 motherboards?
I have chosen the following parts:
- Antec P180
- Seasonic S12 600W
- Asus P5W DH Deluxe
- Intel Core 2 DUO E6600
- Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound
- ThermalRight SI-120
- ThermalRight LGA775 Adapter Kit for XP-120/XP-90
- Panaflo FBA12G12L1A 120mm
- Corsair 2GB DDR2 XMS2-6400C4 TwinX
- HIS Excalibur ATI Radeon X1800 GTO ICEQ3
- Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Music
- Western Digital Raptor X 150GB (Windows)
- Western Digital Caviar SE16 500GB (Storage)
- Western Digital Secure Connect Serial ATA Cable x2
