Mobo Changed To: GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3P LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard
Patriot Viper 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Wolfdale
OCZ VENDETTA 2
Western Digital Caviar SE WD1600AAJS 160GB 7200 RPM 8MB Cache
EVGA 512-P3-1150-TR GeForce GTS 250 512MB 256-bit GDDR3
OCZ StealthXStream OCZ600SXS 600W
ENERMAX Uber Chakra ECA5001B Black Aluminum / Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case
Now I was thinking about maybe going for the Intel Pentium E5200 Wolfdale and then using the saved money and upgrading to the HD 4870. I plan on overclocking this (duh
)
Looking at about $500-600 budget. This build is for my cousin, so I wanna try and keep the system some what upgradeable for the future, was gonna go with DDR3 but considering the performance/price ratio it just wasnt worth it. I think the most important spec would be 2x pci-e 2.0 slots.
Rate it, Review it, Edit it, Mix n Match it!
Thanks!
