I have been very patient for some time now. Gathering all useful knowledge I can find on every one of the parts I need, and a lot of researching reviews and forums. I think it's coming Very close to the time I want to finally order my new system. So I'd like to see what you guys think of how I'm doing so far. The only thing I will be using from my old system is my Hard Drives possibly. I would like to use the 250gb SATA HD I'm buying as storage, video and such. Then use one of my existing ATA100 HD's to run Windows.
This system will be used for a few different things. General Usage & Browsing, Audio Production/Editing (Cubase SX), Video Editing(Adobe Premiere Pro), some Gaming, and as much of an OverClock as possible.
I am coming from an old P4 2.4C and p4p800 deluxe, so I'm sure I will notice a huge improvement. Anyway,...Here's what I got so far;
-CPU: Core 2 Duo E6400
-MoBo: Gigabyte DS3 (Maybe something else? DQ6? P5B Deluxe? AB9 Pro?)
-RAM: Super Talent DDR2 800 4-4-3-8 2gb(2x1024)
-Vid Card: Sapphire 1950 Pro 256mb
-PSU: Silverstone SST-ST50EF-Plus 500W
-HD: WD Caviar 250gb 7200rpm 8mb cache SATA
-Case: Lian Li PC-60APLUS W This has 2 120mm fans, 2 80mm fans, and one is on a cpu air duct. Does this mean I wouldn't need an upgraded CPU Cooler? What about a North Bridge Cooler?
-DVD: NEC 3550A DVD Burner
-Cooling: Arctic Silver 5, NB Fan??? CPU HS & Fan???
I would like to OC this as far as possible. 3.5+ghz with 1:1 maybe? I would like to know what you guys think of this. And also,...Seeing as how the Case I have seams to have ample cooling and a CPU Air Duct,...Would I benefit from getting an upgraded CPU HS & Fan? What about North Bridge Cooling?
Thanks A Lot in advance guys. I'd Really appreciate the help.
