Another PC build thread

[scraggleness]

Okay so this is the machine i am thinking about putting together. My budget is 1500.00.

PSU - Rosewill RX750
OS - Vista 64bit
GPU - HD 4870
CPU - Intel Q6600
MoBo - P5Q-E
Memory - Corsair 4GB DDR2 800
HD1 - 150GB velociraptor
HD2 - Samsung F1 750GB
Tower - Antec 900
CPU sooling - Zalman CNPS9700

My main concerns are the obvious spots.... CPU, GPU and MoBo. What do you think? Is the increase to the Q9450 worth the price? Would it be better to go with 2x HD4850 video cards? Any other questions, comments concerns.

Thanks in advance

32 Bit XP can't use more than 3g or so of ram, and using dual-view monitors with XP will kill your FPS unless it's in horizontal span.


As for the build, looks like something I want. =P

I think everything's fine except the power supply. I would get one from a better manufacturer. I usually buy Seasonics but there are several topnotch companies to choose from. Rosewill isn't one of them.
