Pretty new at this, and there is no such thing as a perfect computer part as it is all in the eye of the beholder. That being said, this is what me and my roommate have compiled together for our future rigs. Don't judge too harshly! We're new!
CPU: Intel Q6600
Case: Antec 900
PSU: CoolerMaster 1000W
Hard Drive: Western Digital 750GB
Motherboard: ASUS P5N32-E SLI LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 680i SLI
RAM: CORSAIR XMS2 4GB(2 x 2GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)
Video Card: EVGA 512-P3-N802-A1 GeForce 8800GT Superclocked 512MBORBFG Tech BFGE88512GTOCE GeForce 8800GT 512MB
I chose the lower clocked versions of the 8800gt because i thought heat might become an issue when I eventually add another one in for SLI. I also am torn between EVGA and BFG. EVGA has the step-up program but BFG has the lifetime warranty. They both probably perform about the same, but the EVGA is clocked a bit higher.
I will be adding a better third party heatsink/fan to the CPU as well, but do not know much about them. I am open to suggestions.
I will be running Windows Vista Premium 64-bit on this system as well.
Oh, I will be using this monitor as well:DELL SP2208WFP
So, there you have it. You may now critique. (thanks to all of those who take the time to share their thoughts!)
