Motherboard.........Asus P5N32-E SLI Motherboard (nVIDIA nForce 680i SLI chipset, 7.1 Channels, GB lan)
Processor.............Intel Core 2 Duo E6600
RAM....................OCZ 2 GIG PC2-6400
Hard Drive............Maxtor DiamondMax 300 Gig
Optical Drive.........Samsung SH-S182D Dual Layer DVD +/- RW
Video Card...........nVidia 8800 GTX 768 MB (maybe 2)
Case...................Cooler Master CAV-T03
Power Supply........OCZ 1000PXS
Heat Sink.............Zalman CNPS9500 LED CPU Cooler
Water Cooler........Corsair COOL Water Cooling Kit
OS......................Vista Home Premium 64-bit
One concern is I've heard this particular heat sink works very well but is on the heavy side of what is recommended by Intel.
This comes out to around $2300.
If I change the video card and run two eVGA Geforce 7600 GS 512 MB cards, the total would be just under $2000.
I'm leaning more toward the dual video cards just because I'd like to keep the cost around $2k. But I also want to run dual monitors. I could buy one 8800 now and one later.
I'm going to mainly use this computer for first person shooters (Counter Strike: Source, Battlefield 2142) and RTS (Supreme Commander, Command and Conquer). I will also be using for school. Mainly papers, power points, C++, Visual Basic, etc. Nothing very intensive.
Suggestions and opinions are appreciated.
Thanks for your time.
