I HIGHLY suggest a better PSU. Corsair, PC Power and cooling, Silverstone, ULTRA are my brands of word.

Other than that, looks great
GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3P and 4gb of DDR2 1066 imo.

Money is better spent in other places than DDR3 if you are going with a Core2 cpu.

Edit: What res are you playing at?
Personally hate ultra, had a high end one a while back 700W died after 1.5 months of folding lol.

On your psu how many rails does it have, and how many Amps does each rail have?

Hello and Welcome to OCn.......that's a promising build.....but....umm.....yea.....i wouldn't hook anything like that to something called a "golden tiger" or "crystal dragon" or anything like that.....look into some named brand PSUs

Then yeah, consider either 4870 1gb or 4850x2 "2gb".

Hmm, I would stay away from the P5Q"C" and go with either a regular P5Q or P5Q-Pro / E.

And definitly another power supply. I've never even heard of Golden Tiger.
OK,np changed to
PSU:Corsair TX 750W Active PFC 12cm Fan

Is it hard to see your opponents at that resolution?


I honestly think you'd be okay with your current card, unless you want to crank up AA and all those goodies.

Good PSU choice,

Still say GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3P. Ive personally used the P5Q Pro, and it wasn't impressive.

If you are just stuck on ASUS, check out this open box board : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...2E16813131319R

My friend and I both built PCs with Q2Duos a while back, he had the P5Q Pro and I went with the Maximus II Formula and we found this motherboard to be quite nice. I bought it Open box so it wasn't too much more expensive.

Yeah if you aren't set on Asus, the Gigabyte UD3P is a great board.

But if you want a P5Q series, the Pro isn't a bad board.

Hardware:Western Digital 320GB 7200RPM, 16MB, SATA II

Eh wait. You selected DDR3 memory, and a DDR2 mainboard. That's not going to work.

If you want a good DDR2 set look for the G-Skill PC8800 2x2GB.
