Building a new system - Need opinions
I'm builing a new system to replace my laptop.
Main focus will be Gaming.
Target Budget: $1,500.00 USD
I prefer to buy from only one place so it will all come together.
Newegg:
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 2.13GHz
Motherboard: Asus P5NSLI
-SLI, c2d, and has decent reviews on Anandtech
Memory: CORSAIR ValueSelect 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 667
-I game with generic memory now and works fine. Corsair will be even better. Plus, I want 2GB and don't have the money to buy the expensive stuff!
Video Card: eVGA GeForce 7950GT 512MB GDDR3 KO Superclocked
-enough said...
Case: COOLER MASTER Centurion 5 Black
-favorite inexpensive case. Plus has over 700 positive reviews on Newegg
Power Supply: COOLER MASTER eXtreme Power 600W
-SLI cert. and a ton of power while from a reputable company
Optical Drive: SAMSUNG 18X DVD±R DVD Burner With 12X DVD-RAM Write, LightScribe Technology
Hard Drive: Western Digital Caviar 320GB SATA 3.0Gb/s
OS: Microsoft Windows XP Pro w/Upgrade Coupon for Vista
Monitor: Optiquest by Viewsonic Q9b-2 Black 19" 8ms
-because I only have a laptop so I need a monitor
Cooling: Arctic Silver 5
Cooling: Silver Heatspreaders for Memory
-to help value memory a little more
So what do ya think? An suggestions?
