I am moving from my X2 to a C2D within the next 2 weeks, and wanted some opinions on my component selection. I am hoping to OC the crap out it, so any ideas would be helpful.
C2D E6400
Asus P5N-E SLI nVidia 650i
2x1gb Corsair Twin2X2048-6400C4 or possibly the Dominator version
eVGA 8800GTS
Zalman 9700LED HSF
everything else I will just be moving over from my current rig, ie HDDS, optical, sound, psu, etc.
I dont imagine that I will be running SLI anytime soon, but you never know, so I would prefer the nvidia chipset over say the 965. I looked at getting the 680i, but after reading the Asus review here, I decided that the few extras aren't worth the extra $100.
Thanks
