About to pull the trigger on this setup and wanted some last minute confirmation to see if there are any red flags
I allready have a Q6600 SLACR on order from Clubit that will be here shorty. I allready have an EVGA 8800 GTX 768 and a Samsung 226 BW that I will be bringing over from my old system.
Mobo:Asus P5K Premium Black Pearl: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16813131190
Memory: 2 X 2gb sticks Patriot DDR2 800 extreme performance 5-5-5-12: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16820220227
Case: Antec P182: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16811129025
PSU: Silverstone OP850 single rail 70a 850W: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16817256024
Drives: 3 X Seagate Barracuda 250 gb, 7200.10, 16mb cache, SATA 3.0Gb/s: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16822148262
(BTW, What the heck does the OEM stand for....I know its used to denote a single use license for OS, but how bout for drives? There were none marked as retail)
HS: TT Ultra 120- Extreme: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16835109140
Optical Drives: Undecided as of yet. Any suggestions?
Purpose for the new rig is:
1. Im enjoying learning more about computers and OCing and want to put together a nice system.
2. Online gaming
Im still debating between the Antec P182 and the Antec 900, or a CM stacker/CM 832 or something.....but I figure thats no big deal either way I go.....
Im not 100% sure on the PSU or the Drives, but from my research thus far they should all be quality components. I purposely did not go with raptors since I have heard they are loud, and the barracudas should be close in performance and a ton quieter (i am told).
The CPU, Mobo, Memory, and HS im pretty rock solid on, unless someone tells me Im missing something......
Any red flags? Anything that doesnt look right? Am I forgetting anything? I need A5S, and the drives that I have listed dont come with SATA cables from newegg so I need those....sandpaper for lapping, zip ties, Scythe-S for the TT Ultra 120-E.....and.......?
Anything else?
Total $$$ for the above mentioned hardware is $1129.90 including shipping.
Thanks again...every last one of you guys have been incredibly helpful to me as I have diarrhea of the keyboard on a daily basis and pick your brains
