I'm looking to get a new PC, mainly for editing large photoshop files (1GB). I don't really have any time to do gaming so I've gone for a cheap graphics card. I've gone for XP Pro x64 instead of Vista as I understand a lot of programs aren't Vista compatible. I'll probably OC the processor & RAM.
£55 Jeantech Phong II Case
£280.00 4Gb G.Skill DDR2 PC2-6400 PQ CL5 Series 800MHz Dual Channel kit
£12.16 Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro
£209.15 Intel Core 2 DUO E6700 2.67GHz 'Conroe' 4Mb Cache LGA775 (1066 Mhz) - Retail
£117.69 Asus P5B Deluxe Wifi
£74.98 Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 500GB S300
£74.98 Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 500GB S300 (Together in RAID 0)
£60 256MB Leadtek 8500GT
£6 Akasa Pro Grade+ AK-TC 5022 Thermal Compound
£84 Microsoft Win XP Pro x64 SP2B OEM
Total cost: £974
From my current PC I'll use:
Seasonic S12 600W
LG DVD+/-RW DVD-RAM
LaCie Firewire 800 card
How does that sound? Anything I've missed?
My current PC also has a Soundblaster Audigy 2 Platinum EX, would the built in sound on the P5B be better quality?
