Hi, I don't often post in these forums... more of a reader. Been a system builder/overclocker for about 10 years. I'm putting together a gaming system for a financially challenged friend and just wanted to get some input/suggestions/criticisms. Here's what I've managed to collect:
Intel D975XBX2 - $76 (ebay - open box new)
E6600 - $85 (bought used from a friend)
mushkin 4-4-4-12 (2x1gb) 2.1v - $35 (ebay - new)
eVGA 7900 GTX 256 - $70 (used - friend)
Sparkle Power Action 700 - $70 (craigslist - slight use)
Zalman CNPS8700 cooler - $30 (new - ebay)
Still need to find him a decent case. Most of the rest I can supply out of my boxes-o-stuff. I got really good prices on most of this stuff, so I can sell off pretty much any of it for a profit if anybody has any suggestions.
Thanks for your time.
