Hi guys -- I am upgrading from a Barton 2500+, 1GB RAM, 6800GT. I use a Westinghouse 32" LCD for my monitor - have a WD raptor for HDD - have NEC 3550 DVD burner -- Seasonic 400W PSU. I've been out of the loop for a while (deployed) so now I come back and my system is mediocre.
I want to build a system around the E6600 with moderate overclocking in mind (around 3.0 - 3.2ghz). My main concern is motherboard and memory compatibility issues. I'm leaning towars the Gigabyte DS3. What is good ram to pair with that considering my overclocking goals? I would like a high end video card, $300+ non-SLI although I would consider a 7950GX2 for a single card solution (is my 400w psu going to be enough - it's good quality). Could one of you ambitious fellows draw up a system for me? I'm willing to buy now! Thanks in advance!
