Yes, my friends, it is that time of the year again. I believe that there is no better time for a new rig than Christmas, with two weeks' vacation to build and overclock the mess out of it. Not to mention get some games in
.
Here's what I'm thinking so far... My budget is ~$1500-$1800, but I won't complain if the build ends up a little bit over or under.
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E8600 Wolfdale 3.33GHz
MB: DFI LP DK P45-T2RS PLUS
RAM: OCZ Reaper HPC 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 1066
PSU: Antec TPQ-850 850W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Certified CrossFire Ready
GFX:2x SAPPHIRE 100257L Radeon HD 4870 512MB in Crossfire
Monitor: ASUS VW222U Black 22" 2ms(GTG) Widescreen LCD Monitor
HDD:2x Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD6400AAKS in RAID-0
Case: Antec P182
Cooling: XIGMATEK HDT-S1283
XIGMATEK ACK-I7751 Retention Bracket
Arctic Silver 5
OS: Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate SP1 64-bit
Other: SAMSUNG 22X DVD±R DVD Burner
SAMSUNG Black 1.44MB 3.5" Internal Floppy Drive
Total: $1843.34
Any input y'all have is greatly appreciated!
