hi all,
I'm going to build a new rig for multi tasks, so I need your help in order to get the right setup. Primary I would do a lot of VMware (about having 3-4 different OSes runnng) and mild graphic/video editing. My target is to OC around 3.4-3.6ghz on AirCooling and good hdd response.
So far, I have Q6600 G0 in hand. The rest depends on your inputs. However, here is the list that I have in mind. As long as the price/performance is well justified then I'm ok with it.
Board: Gigabyte P35-DS3R ( needed some board with good OC + Raid 0/1) or Abit IP35-Pro ?
PSU: OCZ GameStream 600W or Corsair 620HX or 520HX ?
RAM: GSkill 2x2 PC6400 or OCZ 2x2 PC6400
HDD setup probably the hardest part.
1 x raptorx 150GB or 2 x 7200.11 RAID 0 for OS and application installed
(would 2 x raptorX in RAID 0 improve 35% over the 1x raptorX ?)
Video card: 512MB of x1900xt or 7900GT would be good for 2 x 1600x1200 ?
any input would be thankful,
Kevin
