So Ive pretty much narrowed down and locked in the hardware Im going to use for my new rig. I just wanted to get some feedback before I pull the trigger in a couple of weeks.
New Hardware:
CPU: E8400
Mobo: Gigabyte DS3L
Memory: 2gb GSkill PC6400
HD: Seagate baracuda 250gb sata 3.0
Vid: HD 4870
Reused Parts:
PSU: OCZ 600watt gamestream
Case: Antec tower that Ive had forever, but I plan to upgrade it at a later date most likely to an Antec 300.
Monitor: 19" BenQ lcd, its served me well for 3 years, looking at a 22" widescreen around xmas time maybe
Cooling: Scythe Infinity, since it has mounting brackets that can be interchanged from the current S939 to 775 and a few other standards.
Uncle Sam will be paying for the majority of the cost thanks to the free money stimulus check, so out of pocket is only around $100.
