theres no way to tell at all that the 500w rosewill is crappier than the bundled psu with the antec, for all you know its a generic 450 made by powmax (worst brand ever, dont ever get it) my experience hasnt been very good with ocz, i usually recommend geil or mushkin depending on price range and type of ram i;d just save the money on the sound card unless u need extra audio i/o because most onboard audio is fine for general use and if you were that anal about your sound quality u would be getting a M audio board to run 24bit/96khz to a receiver. The dual core is an investment imo that will see real returns in the future as more software takes advantage of it. as of right now dual core lets u multitask much more efficiently by seperating processes between the 2 cores. |

I have roughly the same set-up as you, only a step down. Some points from me if you care to read mate: 1) Get OCZ or Corsair XLS memory , I got the Corsair, same chips and they o/c like fukcers with very aggressive timmings as well. I have mates with OCZ and they o/c just as well. I have had bad expirience with Mushkin, and Geil, but its a personal thing. I always consider OCZ =1 , Corsair = 1.5 sort of, rest are class 2. Get a 480+ power supply, SLI compatible ( you never know ), ATX 2.0 in other words. And get a named one imo. A bad and cheap power supply does not give stable currents and in MANY cases is responcible for fucking up a system especially and o/c'ed one. The mobo is a great choice. For faster data acces, just get another drive and Strip them, the 10k ones are indeed great but hurt price wise, even now. Considering the dual core, I would say it depends on your needs, I dont know when games will be available that will take advantange of it, I assume not long. Worse case scenario sell the AMD and get one later on. They are chear in the 1st place. Also, if you plan to o/c although they dont generate alot of heat, make sure you buy a good all-copper heatsink mate, and I am saying that now since most of the good/big ones, require a backplate that needs the mobo to be removed before installed, and it will break your balls to have to take the mobo out, after the pc has been assembled ( provided you get the sink later cause you observe a bit high temps ). Something I just read a bit up. The memory you get make sure its 2-2-2-5, so it will o/c alot and lose the timmings a bit ofc. Anything else you need give me a shout. |
