Hi, there. I'm thinking of building a second rig. The thing is that i'm not completly sure yet and i'm just seeing how much it would cost..
Right now - this is my rig:
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6300
Mobo: GIGABYTE 965P-DS3
RAM x4: A-DATA 1GB DDRII 800 128Mx8
HDD: SEAGATE ST3250820AS 250GB + Hitachi 320GB
GPU: ATI ASUTEK 4870 1GB
PSU: Fortron Blue Storm 500W ATX12V
It used to have Asus EN7600GT, no Hitachi 320GB and : A-DATA 512MB DDRII (8C-64Mx8) DDR667 RAM.
So i've decided to upgrade it. I thought of putting together my old rig:
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6300
Mobo: GIGABYTE 965P-DS3
RAM x3: A-DATA 512MB DDRII (8C-64Mx8) DDR667
GPU: Asus EN7600GT
PSU: Fortron Blue Storm 500W ATX12V
and a new rig. Right now the new one would have:
GPU: ATI ASUTEK 4870 1GB
RAM x3: A-DATA 1GB DDRII 800 128Mx8
HDD: SEAGATE ST3250820AS 250GB + Hitachi 320GB
The reasons i'm bulding a new one is because right now i hear that my current setup bottleneck's my 4870.
So for the old rig - what could be a good 80GB HDD (i'm thinking 80 will be good enough).
But mainly i'm here about the new one. I'm definetly thinking about a quad-core CPU.
Maybe this for CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650 3,0 GHz 12MB 1333MHz FSB 45nm LGA775 ?!
But what about Mobo and PSU. I also need a case to put it into, but that shouldn't be to expensive.
A lot of people seem to use the 780i or something like that for Mobo. I might have a ATI GPU for now, but who knows - might get a nvidia card later sometime.
What parts do you think i should get and how much would it all cost (i do live in Estonia so not every part is available - i'll tell you if i can't find a suggested part here).
Thanks.
