Either going to buy a CPU to hold me over until summer 2009 to build a new rig or just buy it now and upgrade a few things come that summer. Either way, if I end up buying now, this is what I'm thinking:
LIAN LI PC-A05B - $79.98
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 (2.83GHz) - $319.99
Biostar TPower I45 P45 - $159.99
Corsair Dominator DDR2-1066 4GB (2GBx2) RAM - $140
Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 750GB (x2) - $219.98
CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W - $119.99
HIS Hightech HD4870 X2 2GB GDDR5 GPU (x2) - $1,089.98
AuzenTech Auzen X-Fi Prelude 7.1 - $174.99
NEC ASLCD24WMCX-BK 24" 1920x1200 LCD - $449.99
Logitech G11 - $58.99
Logitech G7 - $72.99
LITE-ON Black 4X Blu-ray DVD ROM - $129.99
Total: $3,075.12
Buy that, sell my rig, and just pocket the cash. I'm only getting a Blu-Ray player because I'd like to watch them (obviously), and if I get a 1920x1200 monitor I can. If I end up not getting the monitor (mine is fine ... 20.1" 1680x1050) I won't get the BR drive, so it'll be a good bit cheaper. But anywho.
Suggestions? Rig is going to be sitting at stock except for benchmarking. Still tossing around ideas of cooling depending on how much I have left over. No need to help me out with that.
