Piecing together a new system to replace my X2 3800+/7800GTX system, have the following idea.
- CPU: Q6600 - $280, also considering just a dual core if Quad core is unnecessary

- Mobo: Asus Striker Board - $200 used off a friend
- RAM: 2x 2GB Gskill PC6400 $175

- GPU: 8800GTX - $500 OR also considering 640MB 8800GTS
- Case: Silverstone TJ-03 Case (set in stone, I already own this case and will never get rid of it )
- PSU: Unsure...want modular and dependable, have been happy with my NeoPower 480w in my current system. Spending roughly $100
- CPU Cooler: Unsure...want max cooling with low noise, have been happy with my Zalman CNPS7700Cu in current system Spending roughly $50-60
The rest is pretty much standard, SATA hard drive, DVD burner, Vista 64 bit. Any advice or suggestions are greatly appreciated before I pull the trigger and buy this stuff.
Running this all on dual 2005fpw 20" LCD's at 1680x1050
Thanks,
Rich
