I have been waiting for about 4 month now to build my self a new system. I'm currently waiting for the new 45 nm Quad Core (Q9450) & the new 9800 from NVIDIA. I really hope both of them will come out next month (February). From what I head so far the 9800 will be somewhat of a joke…using already existing g92 core, and it will be basically 2 cards in 1…like the old 7950 card… When will the new Monster come out? Something that is 2X then the Ultra…or that's at least what I heard the new cards will be like…
I don't have a budget per se but by my estimates the new rig will probably cost me about $2500. I am not looking for so so parts, I want the best. I don't need monitor or the keyboard; I'm just looking to build a solid rig. I had actually never built a computer my self before, so I am really exited about the process. O ya and I do plan to @ the crap out of it.
Here I have a list of the parts that I most likely will use; (Gaming Computer)
1st CPU = Quad Core (Q9450)
2nd Video Card = The new 9 series from NVIDIA hopefully something better then the 9800 GX2
3rd MOBO = Have no idea…I am NOT planning going SLI coz I think it's a waist + I want to be able to fit my X-FI sound card + Network adaptor (Big Foot) & maybe an extra PCI fan.
4th. HDD = Ether (2) 10,000rpm raptors in raid 0 or (2) 7,200rpm 32meg catch in raid 0. I do have 500G external HDD to back up my data. Witch option should I go? And why? Will the 2 raptors be REALLY loud?
5th RAM = 4G something nice
6th PSU = Have no idea, something with enough power lol
7th CASE = I was thinking about something like “COOLER MASTER Stacker 830 Evolution†I currently have Antec 180, I'm just tired of it.
8th CPU Heat sink = Thermalright IFX-14 (NEW) or the Ultra-120 eXtreme
9th DVD-RW (something nice and fast)
10th Windows Vista 64bit and XP professional (Dual Boot)
11th Floppy drive
Is there anything else that I might be missing? What do you guys think? For the parts that I didn't specify exactly like 4G of RAM & MOBO can you help me pick the exact parts plz. Overall I just want to hear everyone's opinion on this.
Thanks.
