Last couple of PC where bought by parents, but they will only spend so much.
System is going to be for games mostly
Had a:
Dell 9100:
Procesor: Pentium D 820
Graphics Card: 7800GTX 256mb
Memory: 2gb ddr2 533mhz ram
Hard Drive: 320gb hard drive
Motherboard: Cut down dell one (crap)
O/S: Windows XP Home
Monitor: 19 inch 1280x1024 standar screen
New PC I will get will be custom built, is this over kill and are there a suggestions that would help.
Case: Gigabyte 3D Aurora 570 Black
Procesor: E6700 (don't see value in the extra money for quad core it doesn't help all that much in games)
Graphics Card: 2 x 8800GTX SLi Point of View GeForce 8800GTX Extreme ed (is the card manufacture anygood)
Memory: 4gb Corsair 6400C4
Hard Drive: Seagate 400gb 7200.10
Motherboard: ABIT IN9 32X-MAX WiFi, nForce-680i SLI (HAS A 1333MHZ bus, and you can vary the voltage on the procesor. So i should be able to put a Penryn in??)
O/S: Vista 64 bit (as 32 bit will not page more than 4gb of memory in total, How are drivers these days??)
Power Supply: Tagan TurboJet 1100W (or is the, OCZ Technology Powersupply ATX/EPS 1000W, better it is noise though)
Monitor: Acer 22" LCD X222W (any better suggestions, LG226WT maybe)
Last thoughts:
Will the PC be overclockable especially the procesor?
I may buy the matching water cooling system for the case, Gigabyte 3D Galaxy II. Is this worth it, will it help the system that much. Since I may overclock the CPU in the long run?
