Hello,
I was gone for a few weeks and upon return I received
bad news from my wife. My computer was fried from a major power surge.
I got with my home insurance company and they are cutting me a check
for all my computer components. I wanted to purchase everything I had
before since performance was excellent. Unfortunately the mobo, hdd,
and gpu are deactivated. So I had to take come up with a new plan
My questions are: What do you all think about the following build I'm considering?
Western Digital VelociRaptor WD1500HLFS 150GB 10000 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive (bare drive) - OEM
Western Digital Caviar GP WD10000LSRTL 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drive - Retail
CORSAIR DOMINATOR 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Triple Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model TR3X6G1600C8D - Retail
Intel Core i7 920 Nehalem 2.66GHz 4 x 256KB L2 Cache 8MB L3 Cache LGA 1366 130W Quad-Core Processor - Retail
ASUS P6T Deluxe V2 LGA 1366 Intel X58
I am not sure what Nvidia gpu and sound card I should go with as of yet. Either the GeForce 9800 GTX or GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 Superclocked Edition. Any suggestions? I was also thinking about purchasing Vista Ultimate SP1 64-bit with a free Windows 7 upgrade. It is hard for me to leave XP. I had it installed on my previous build before it was fried. I am kind of weary about Vista still.
What do you all think? I am still around the same price as the one I built last year.
I am willing to spend no more than $1400.
Thanks
