Hi guys, yes sorry this is yet another new build question!
Been planning an upgrade for a while but keep being put off by the new i7’s due out sometime, however i think im correct that ive heard their gonna be released at start of Nov (maybe that’s just a naive wish thou!?
Anyway, not planning on going that route but waiting for the hopefully associated price cuts for existing cpu’s etc. I want a fairly high end machine and am planning to use it for gaming, photoshop, 3dsmax and video editing, im also planning to moderately overclock. Im in UK and aiming for under the £1000 mark which these parts achieve, any cost saving ideas would be appreciated thou! So below is what I’m planning on buying in a few weeks time if all goes to plan!
CPU: Quad Q9550 2.83GHz 12MB-cache (any ideas what a moderate overclock could achieve?)
CPU cooler: Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme or Zalman CNPS9700-NT
Mobo: Asus P5Q-E Intel P45 (don’t really know difference between p45 and x48 boards )
GPU: 4870 or nvid 260 (undecided on which, any need for additional gpu cooler?)
Ram: 4*2 gig sticks of OCZ PC2-6400C4 800MHz Reaper HPC ( wanting to overclock and prefer 8gig for video and image editing - any other preferences for makes/model?)
HDD: 750gb Samsung F1 (to add to my existing Samsung 500gb)
PSU: corsair 620w or 750W modular
Case: Coolermaster 690
Vista 64bit
Also I’ve already got a 22” moniter. Any quick help you guys could give would be appreciated, if it turns out i7 isnt comin out soon I will prob just go ahead anyway as having been wanting to upgrade for past 6 months! cheers
