Well its been lest 2 years since i upgraded my pc, its bout that time I need to wipe and reinstall xp, and my B-Day is coming up in ~2 weeks, so i figure its about time to get something new, and hopefully future proof my system for another year or 2(ya wishful thinking, I know).
so anyway, my curent system is as follows
Intel Pentium D 830 Smithfield
ASUS P5WD2-Premium
Corsair CM2X1024-6400 5-5-5-18
XFX 7800GT
Water Cooling
Apogee GT
MCW60
MCP655
MCR320 QP 3x120 (also have a 5 foot bong cooler but thats another story)
so anyway, I was plaining out a new compleat build, and well I'd love some outside input as the only real computer savvy guy in this town is bias on what he will and wont buy.
so anyway, i was planing something along the lines of
LIAN LI PC-A70A for the case
frankly I love their cases and this one should hold any future upgrades without a problem
EVGA 768-P2-N831-AR GeForce 8800GTX 768MB 384-bit
OCZ ModXStream OCZ900MXS ATX12V / EPS12V 900W Power Supply
EVGA 122-CK-NF68-A1 LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 680i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard
wile I will not need to Sli now, I want Sli to be an option for future upgrades
Intel Core 2 Duo E6750
Well with the new quads coming out in Jan i figure I'd save a cople here and wait it out.
If i go air colling i will likely get a Thermalright Ultra-120, not sure yet.
So, will that be a good board for my needs?
Will it support the new quads in Jan with a bios update?
What ram would you recommend for that board?
thats all I can currently think of, gotta get to work
