Last time I built a computer was when E6300 was at its prime, so its been a while so bare with me.
I need to build a computer to handle several CCTV camera that connected through PCI cards other than that it will perform regular office duties: surfing, word and little bit of picture editing. No gaming. Will not be OCing at all.
Stability is the most important factor and the computer will on 24/7.
So I am planning on building a mid-range computer mainly because of the cameras.
CPU: Thinking of E7200, seems like a mid-range CPU and its a 45nm. Basing my decision solely on price and its the cheapest 45nm. Is is worth getting a 45nm?
Mobo: Need as many PCI slots as I can get because the CCTV camera cards are PCI. This is the only board that I have found that has 5 PCI slots, Gigabyte. Any opinions? How is the chipset? A long shot, but does anyone know a mobo that has 4+ PCI slots and 2 Serial ports (RS-232) that supports Core 2 Duo?
RAM: Just gonna get 1gb X 2 of budget RAM like the Crucial Rendition.
Video card: Gonna pick up a cheap PCI-e video card under $50, any suggestions?
Hard drive: 500GB seems to at a good price point, thinking of Seagate, opinions?
Case, PSU and DVD drives have already been picked out.
Please critique my build and pick out parts are at a good price point for a mid-range PC.
Thanks a ton.
