Hey guys,
I have finally got round to upgrading my media/bedroom PC. It was my last remaining AMD system - AMD X2 5200, Asus M2N32-SLI Deluxe nForce 590.
NEW COMPONENTS
Intel Q9400 6MB cache
Asus P5Q Deluxe
8GB GEIL DDR2 6400*
EVGA 8800GTS 640MB Superclocked*
1TB WD Black* (OS - 500GB, DATA - 500GB)
1TB WD Black (Media)
750GB Samsung F1 (Media)*
Corsair HX 650 watt PSU
Zalman CNPS10X Extreme CPU Cooler
AC MX-3
Antec P180 Special Edition* "Mirror Finish"
*Old parts/already in the PC
I did think about going i5 for it, but decided not too due to having to buy new RAM too. Plus I'll be upgrading my main rig to i7 when the new ones are released.
I'm gonna try and braid the FP IO cable, but we'll see. Trying to decide what fans to put in there, probs keep the Sythe Ultra Quiet 1600rpms, but these sound good Akasa Apache
I'll add some pic's when i get all the parts, still waiting on the PSU and CPU.
