It's been a long 3 years since upgrading my computer, and i'm having a serious craving to play all these fancy new games! So, the rig I'm planning on buying next week...
CPU: Q6600 G0 stepping
CPU cooler: Arctic Cooling AC-FRZ-7P Freezer 7 Pro
Memory: Crucial 2GB (2x1GB) DDR2 PC2-6400/800MHz CL4-4-4-12 Ballistix
GPU: Zotac 8800GT 512mb OC (already got this)
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-P35C-DS3R
PSU: Corsair TX 750W
Case: Antec Nine Hundred
I've already got 1TB worth of hard drives and a SB Audigy 2 ZS sound card
The only thing I'm not totally 100% sure about is the motherboard, it's been annoying me trying to find one. I can't afford a high-end one with everything on it, so I thought the Gigabyte one would be best for my needs.
I did want a P5K but I've heard of people having trouble with it detecting the new Q6600 and certain memory, so that put me off.
Basically just wanting some opinions if I could do a bit better for the same price or if that's perfect as it is? Everything should be compatible and work ok right? Recommendations on motherboards welcome
