striker's new build

whoops sorry about the tite I put it as that when I was previewing the post and forgot to change it :s


Hey I posted up about a month ago interested in building a rig and I have spent the last month chopping and changing and I think I have come up with a list (finally! lol)

Antec Twelve Hundred Ultimate Gamer case
NEC Optiarc AD-7201S 20x Internal DVDRW Lightscribe Black - SATA
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 2.83GHz (Retail 775) CPU
BFG GeForce GTX 280 OC 1024MB PCI-E 2.0 Graphics card
Corsair 750W TX Series PSU
1TB Samsung Spinpoint F1 SATA2 7200RPM 32MB cache hard drive
Asus Maximus Extreme iX38 Socket 775 Motherboard
Corsair 6GB PC3-10666 Triple XMS3 DDR3 Kit (3 x 2GB)


But I have a few queries, Is that mobo compatible with that RAM?
Is the PSU powerful enough?
Will the 1200's fans be enough cooling?

The power supply is more than enough.

Memory will work fine on that motherboard.


Cooling should be more than adequate.


For hdds, why not go with Seagate?

As for optical drives, why not go with Lite-On?

I would drop the mb to a p5q, and then get some ddr2-800 2x2gb ram.

That will save you a bit of money.
