Few Questions before building new Core 2 Duo Rig...
I am finally getting a new computer . I just have a few questions about some parts and how long I should wait.
First off, I feel bad about not knowing this, but since it was delayed so many times, when does R600 come out? And will there be mid-range cards or just the flagship card?
I am definitely getting a E4300 CPU and overclocking it, but isn't there going to be a price drop on current Core 2 Duo CPUs later this month?
Anyway, here is my running list of parts:
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E4300
RAM: At least 2GB, I will find a good deal on DDR2 ram with decent timings
Motherboard : GIGABYTE GA-965P-DS3 - I have read numerous reviews where you can overclock an E4300 to at least 3 ghz.
Case: Antec P182 - I just received this today. I ordered a black P180 and got the features of the P182 (I can post pictures)
Video Card: Still undecided until ATI releases their DirectX 10 line. Going with a 8800 GTS 320mb as of now, but would like to stick with ATI...
PSU: Corsair HX520W 520w
I have an extra hard drive, DVD drive, etc. - I didn't over look those things.
If you have any suggestions or can answer anything about my questions, please leave comments. Thanks in advance.
