I am building a gaming and student work rig after the 22nd from newegg based around overclocking the q6600 (probably B3) as much as possible without water-cooling, and I need to know if the following components are compatible/reliable. I won?t upgrade anything for at least 2-3 years (that is why I want the quad), and the budget is roughly $2000 for thecomponents listed. NO SLI or multi speaker surround sound plans for the future.
Mobo: GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3R LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX Intel Motherboard
Processor: q6600 (core2duo e6600 if I cant find a quad core soon after the 22nd)
Memory: 2 x 2Gb 800mhz 240 pin G Skill F2-6400CL6S-2GBMQ (or same speed Mushkin for a few dollars more?)
Hard drive: Samsung Spinpoint T 7200RPM 500GB
Graphics: geforce 8800 gts 640mb evga 640-P2-N821-AR
Sound: Onboard
PSU: OCZ GameXStream OCZ700GXSSLI ATX12v 700watts
Speakers: Logitech X230 2.1 32 watts
Monitor: SCEPTRE X20WG-Naga Black 20.1in 5ms widescreen (to watch movies sometimes)
System: Vista 64 bit home (Will windows x64 have continued support or is it a short term fix?)
Case: Thermaltake Armor Series VA8000BWS (Is the full tower really needed or is mid size ok?)
Cooling: stock fans and tuniq tower cpu cooler, possibly pci slot cooler for the video card
Optical: 2x LG 18X DVD?R DVD Burner with 12X DVD-RAM Write
Logitech deluxe Keyboard and premium optical mouse
Network: TRENDnet TEG-PCITXR 10 gigabit network adapter
Wireless: edimax wireless network card ew 7128g
Any suggestions, especially those on how to make it cheaper or more effective, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
