My aim is a games machine - running Vista 64 bit - Q6600@3ghz - 4gb of ram - Nvidia 8800 GT????
I current run a P4 2.6Ghz, 7600GT - my old 6600 Died on me so i had to spend some cash last year.
I want this machine to cope for atleast 2years.
Quiet as possible
i)So first first question i want a rock solid mobo that will let me do a Q6600@3Ghz , 1:1 memory divider.
ii) Also i need a HSF quiet as possible to cool this solution.
iii) A Quiet case - and a what 520watt psu ?
iv) 4*1gb or 2*2gb - im guessing pc6400 would be best ?
v) I also need a LCD screen to replace my 20" CRT, so id say 22" Wide screen would be be best or 24" ?
vi) a Nvidia card to run games as the resolution needed for the LCD above, is a GTS 320MB enough or do i need a 640MB or a GTX instead ?
vii) Does sound proofing help at all with systems and should i replace the case fans with ultra quiet fans
viii) I have a Sata HD seagtae barracudda 7200.10 250gb unopened would using a raptor really make that much difference.
Many thanks
