I'm trying to build a replacement system from scratch to replace my aging P4 2.8 + NV 6800.
Here's what I have so far:
case: LIAN LI PC-7B plus II Black Aluminum ATX Mid Tower
PSU: Antec CP-850 850W ATX12V V2.3 / EPS12V V2.91 SLI Certified
CPU: Intel Core i7 920 Nehalem 2.66GHz LGA 1366 130W Model BX80601920 - Retail
GPU: XFX GX260NADBF GeForce GTX 260 Black Edition Core 216 896MB 448-bit GDDR3
Mobo: ASUS P6T LGA 1366 Intel X58
Ram: OCZ Gold 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Black WD1001FALS 1TB
DVD: 2X SAMSUNG 22X DVD±R DVD Burner with LightScribe Black SATA
LCD:BenQ G2400WD Black 24" 5ms, 2ms(GTG) HDMI Widescreen LCD Monitor
Sound: Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer 7.1
Speakers: Logitech G51 155 watts RMS 5.1 Surround Sound
OS: Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 64-bit for System Builders - OEM
Dont know about the case. I just liked the looks. Wanted something that looked ok but would run cool and quiet.
I'm torn on the CPU and GPU. Been debating if the $$$ is worth bumping these up a bit.
Ram was a good price for decent timings
HDD seems to be a good performer. I was also debating if it would be worth it to buy a small raptor for the OS to keep things zippy.
DVDs. . .meh nothing to say here
LCD was recommended by a friend. Looking for approval here.
Sound and speakers not really neede but hey why not.
Vista never been much of a linux kinda guy. Waiting to see how win7 pans out.
Ok guys what needs to be changed whats ok? Tryin to stick to the egg just to keep it all together.
