Ok I'm totally new to this kinda stuff and dont know all the cpu terms and ----, but i need a new cpu so my friends told me to start building my own. I'm a casual gamer and love to watch videos, picture or w/e so i need something that can run those kinda apps smoothly so i thought why not build my own? and so far i got these parts. Graphics Card XFX GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB PCIe SLI Video Card with a FREE Lost Planet: Extreme Condition PC Game $329.97 http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/Sea...&CatId=2669 Proccessor Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 Processor - 3.0GHz, 4MB Cache, 1333MHz FSB, Conroe, Dual-Core, OEM, Socket 775, HH80557PJ0804MGS, Processor $385.99 http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/Sea...&CatId=2396 Mother Board XFX nForce 650i Ultra NVIDA Socket 775 ATX Motherboard / Audio / PCI Express / Gigabit LAN / USB 2.0 / Serial ATA / RAID $146.99 http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/Sea...&CatId=1533 Ram OCZ Platinum Revision-2 2048MB PC6400 DDR2 800MHz Dual Channel Memory (2 x 1024MB) $119.97 http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/Sea...p;Sku=O261-8070 Power Supply Ultra / X-Finity / 600-Watt / ATX / Dual 80mm Fan / SATA-Ready / SLI Ready / Black / Power Supply $59.97 http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/Sea...&CatId=1483 Hard Drive Seagate / 320GB / 7200 / 16MB / SATA-300 / OEM / Hard Drive $99.97 http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/Sea...p;Sku=TSD-320AS Fan Thermaltake / Ruby Orb / Socket 775/754/939/940/AM2 / Aluminum Core/Fins / CPU Cooler $46.99 http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/Sea...&CatId=1588 So what i need help with is the rest of the parts to make a decent/good cpu to play games and videos and multi task. I also need opinions about the parts i choose and see if they are good or if they would even work together. All comments are welcome =D
I would swap out the E6850 to a Q6600 g0, and swap out the motherboard for a P35 Chipset or wait for 8 if your not going SLI.
I'd swap the cooler if you plan on overclocking/if you want absolute quiet max cool http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku...facture=Sunbeam somewhat cheaper http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku...rctic%20Cooling FYI I'm finding ncix to be cheaper, check both. no rule says you have to be exclusive.
those look really good, but too bad its from ncix, im in toronto so i need to use tigerdirect, its like 10min from my house
