Hello,
After a lot of searching I have finally (well almost) decided ont eh components that I'm going to use for my need PC. Below is the list and I would like too know if I'm on the right track and what could do with being change. I am on a budget (although a quite reasonable one) so nothing extreme.
Ok so here goes,
p5b-dlx (Don't need the Wifi as I have a netgear USB superG that for the moment isn't being used. But other then the Wifi does the dlx WiFi have anything important on it that the dlx doesn't?)
E6300 or E6600 (still can't decide but I'm leaning more towards the 6600
Thermalright Ultra-120 (to cool the above)
G.Skill Kit Extreme2 2 x 1 Go PC6400 HK
F2-6400CL4D-2GBHK
timings 4-4-3-5 (can this be right?) 2,00 to 2,10 V (Are these anygood? There timings look great) as these things are cheap (185€)
Other then this RAM there are (the obvious 2nd choice is the oCZ spec ops, or maybe even the titanium alpha's if I go 6300 and get a nice clocking one but I normally have BAD luck):
OCZ Special Ops Urban Elite Edition 2 x 1 Gb PC6400 (245€)
4-4-3-15: 2,10V
OCZ2SOE800URB2GK
Corsair Twin2X 2 x 1 Go DDRII PC6400 CAS 4 (255€)
4-4-4-12 T2: 2,10 V
TWIN2X2048-6400C4
G.Skill Kit Extreme2 2 x 1 Go PC6400 HZ (280€)
4-4-4-12: 2,00 to 2,10 V
F2-6400PHU2-2GBHZ
OCZ Titanium Alpha VX2 2 x 1 Go PC8000 (295€)
4-4-4-15: 2,30 V
OCZ2TA1000VX22GK
Geforce 8800GTS (can't really afford/justify the GTX, other then the obvious gains is it really worth the extra money? And how does the GTS do for overclocking)
I'm going to be reusing my , WD Raptor 74Gb, case antec 1080, Enermax 600W PSU, and will be using the onboard sound (is the onboard sound anygood on this board?)
Also I'm trying to get a quieter system as currently I have a thermalright XP-90 w/ a vantec tornado @ 5-7V (looking back it was a real bad choice, but it got my 2.6C to 3.18)
All help and comments are appreciated. This machine will most likely last as long as my current one has. As the board doesn't have Sli would it be better saving a bit more for the 8800GTX?
Anyway I think I have babbled for long enough, if I've missed anything off let me know.
Thanks in advance,
Mow
