My old desktop is rather old so I'm looking to replace it. A lot of it is pretty worn or outdated so It's more or less a full replacement.
This is the build I was considering. I took the majority of from the sticky with some changes. What I would like to verify that this is all comparable and will fit in the case. As well as if this is actually what components I want for my desired use. (More info below).
i7-920 Bloomfield 2.66GHz
CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115202
ASUS P6T SE LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX
MOBO: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...3131386&cm_re=x58_asus-_-13-131-386-_-Product
Radeon HD 5850 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 (What's the diffrence between GDDR5 & DD5?)
GPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150477&cm_re=HD_5850-_-14-150-477-_-Product
CORSAIR XMS3 4GB (DDR3)
RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145260
OCZ ModXStream Pro OCZ600MXSP 600W ATX12V V2.2
PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341017
(CD Drive is mildly irrelevant, Just wanted to make sure it would connect properly)
CD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827106334
Samsung 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb
HDD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822152185
Probably this case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147145
My main use of the computer is World of Warcraft and other MMOs along with the occasional First Person Shooter. I have a 23" 1920 x 1080 Monitor and wish to utilize the highest resolution for games as well as the highest available settings.
I plan on going the Windows 7 (64bit) route and I assume drivers will be straight forward. Microsoft offered discounts for students for the Office pack and a Windows 7 upgrade yet I did not see a full OS discount. Am I looking in the right place or is there not a discount on that?
Any glaring problems and or recommendations?
