Heavy Gamer here! Haven't upgraded for roughly 4 years so basically, here goes. This is what I'm thinking of buying, within the next few days. Please point out anything you would change, and give some input - don't want to waste my money. I'm not a PC technician or anything hence seeking proper feedback. Here are the specs:
GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB, (G92) PCI Express
Intel Core 2 Duo E6850, 3.00GHz
eVGA nForce 680i SE SLI Mainboard LITE SKU 122-CK-NF63-TR
G.Skill 2GB PC2-6400 DDR2 4-4-3-5 DC -F2-6400CL4D-2GBHK
226BW 22" Wide 2ms LCD Monitor
500GB WD 7200rpm SATA2 16M 16Mb Cache KS Serial ATA2 WD5000AAKS
Already have a power supply, mouse and keyboard need an upgrade so going for a Razer combination, seeing as I already have a Mantis Control Pad, the Lycosa and Lachesis should compliment this system well. As far as headphones go, I have an old pair of Sennheiser HD570's around, as well as a newer pair, the HD595's. Current sound card is XFI XtremeMusic, case - I'll use what I got.
Cheers guys
