Another New Build for Review
I'm planning on placing an order with newegg for the following build. Let me know what you think of all the components. I'm trying to keep everything around $2000. I already have a copy of Windows XP that I'll be reusing until the bugs in Vista get worked out. This will be my first time building a computer.
Motherboard ASUS P5N32-E SLI Plus LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 650i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard $199.99 Processor Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 Conroe 2.4GHz LGA 775 Processor $314 Graphics Card EVGA 640-P2-N821-AR GeForce 8800GTS 640MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 (Might go SLI in the future with this card) $389.99 Memory CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) $234.00 Hard Drives(2) Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3320620AS (Perpendicular Recording Technology) 320GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive (I plan on running these drives in a RAID 0 Array. I’m pretty good about backing up my data so I’m going for performance) $179.98 Optical Drive SAMSUNG 18X DVD±R DVD Burner With 12X DVD-RAM Write, LightScribe Black SATA Model (I know Lite-On is better, but this is the only SATA drive newegg has in stock) $41.99 Power Suppy Thermaltake W0106RU Complies with ATX 12V 2.2 & EPS 12V version 700W Power Supply $164.99 Case COOLER MASTER Centurion 532 RC-532-SKN1 Black Aluminum bezel, SECC chassis ATX $44.99 Monitor Acer Office Line AL2223Wd Black-Silver 22" 5ms DVI Widescreen LCD Monitor $289.99 Keyboard Ideazon Zboard Gaming Wired Keyboard $39.99 Mouse Logitech G7 Black 6 Buttons Tilt Wheel USB RF Wireless Laser Mouse $62.99 With a few more items and $32.81 in shipping this build comes to $2049.51. |

looks perfect, but I'd just make a double check of the ram compatibility with the motherboard (I think it should be fine though)

Go for the 680i version of that board. P5N32-E SLI.
If you wish to go sli you will need a beefier powersupply. The Etasis ET-750 is a ideal choice. I would personally get a little bigger case with a bit more depth. And raid 0 with those two drives isn't gonna result in all that great of a performance boost. Your choice. Last edited by Mr.Ferrari; 03-01-2007 at 09:48 PM. |
