Hello!
My amd athlon 1500+ is getting old and i will finally buy a new computer!
Restrictions:
-I have to buy in the next week. (Can't wait for the new cpu that come out in january)
-I will never overclock
-I can't spend more than 2500$
Part that i know for sure:
-Quad core (Q6600E0)
-8800GTX
-4Gb ram
Here is a build i did on the webiste of the store where i'll buy:
S775 INTEL DG965SSCK 965G PCIE
INTEL CORE 2 QUAD Q6600 2.40G/1066/8M/S775
OCZ 1000MHZ DDR2 NO-ECC 4096MB REAPERX KIT
SATA 150.0 W.D 10K 16M RAPTOR WD1500ADFD
500W POWER ATX ANTEC NEO HE500
Video Card XFX PCIE GF8 8800GTX 768M BOX 8800GTX 600MHZ
(I know nothing about motherboards, i just picked one randomly)
My questions:
-Is one brand of 8800GTX better than the others (Stability, performance).
-What is a good motherboard for a q6600 and 8800gtx (i will never overclock)
-I don't need a big hard drive. Should i get a raptor 150gig.
-What kind of power supply do i need, is 500W enough?
-Is a cheap 4gb 1000MHZ better than any 800MHZ?
Thanks for helping a noob.. i have been reading techpowerup for quite some time, but there are so many different parts to choose from, i'm a little lost
