Well, here I am, ready, thanks to my poker playing prowess, to finally build "THE" rig that I really really have wanted to build. But, as always, I like getting input as to the pros and cons and where I can improve my bang-for-the-buck. So I come to you, my wonderful, knowledgeable friends, for feedback.
Any and all useful and helpful critique will be greatly appreciated. Here she is:
Case - GIGABYTE 3D AURORA Full Tower
Mobo - ASUS P5W DH DELUXE
CPU - Intel Core 2 Duo E6600
Video Card - eVGA Geforce 7950GX2
PSU - ENERMAX Liberty ELT500AWT ATX12V 500W or the CORSAIR HX620w
RAM - CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 800
HDD - 3 Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 320GB
Sound - Creative Sound Blaster Audigy2 ZS
1 Sony DVD-Rom and 1 NEC DVD RW.
Also and external enclosure for one of the HDD's for backup and still undecided about the speakers. But there she is.
I was torn about the video card, possibly waiting for the G80's to come out, but decided that I want to wait til the 2nd run comes out to make sure all the bugs are fixed As for the monitor, I'd love the 37" Westinghouse, but that's just too big...looking at the Dell 2405...thoughts on that as well?
So, please, fire away. Thanks, as always, y'all. This forum has been invaluable for me in the past, so thanks-in-advance
eta: forgot to add the cooling...although the tower is ideal for water cooling, I am still leaning toward just air and a Tuniq Tower...thoughts there as well please?
eta2: oops and fixed now...heh.
