Hey guys,
I am trying to assemble a computer for my friend. He doesn't have a budget, maybe around $2500. He wants something good, something that will last. Please be realistic.
So far he only has 8800GT. These are the parts that I know he wants; Q6600 g0 step, an SLI motherboard, 4G of ram, windows vista & Thermalight Extreme 120 for the CPU (it is the best right?) Computer will be primarily used for Games, Games, and Games. I know that the new Intel processors coming out in Jan, so plz don't ask me to wait, its only about 15% performance increase. If someone can spare some time, taking under consideration the parts that I mentioned and would build a rig for me, I would really appreciate it. (If possible use Newegg & Clubit for g0 step)
Also what is better to have in terms of performance, 2 raptors 10,000rpm in raid 0 with 16m catch or 1 big hdd 7200rpm with 32m catch?
Thanks Guys.
