No set budge, but trying to get the best bang for the buck
So far I'm thinking of getting (though nothing is set, if any of these choices suck let me know):
1: Antec 900 Case
2: Intel Q6600 CPU (planning to OC)
3: EVGA 9800 GTX (currently already have this from May, planning to step up when the new cards are out)
4: EVGA 750i motherboard
5: Vista 64 and XP 32
I'm wondering if 8GB is worth it. But I can't seem to find an 8GB kit that's 1066Mhz. Is getting 2 2x2gb kits fine?
Also have a question about hard drive setup. I currently have a 74gb Raptor drive, which is pretty small for current games (Age of Conan alone takes up 25gigs..). Should I get a 250gig+ 7200rpm drive or get another Raptor? Also if I install the OS's (vista and xp on same drives?) and games on separate drives... does it slow performance?
Any help would be appreciated, thanks
