Plans for buying a new machine

[iztehzha]

Hello all,

I'm currently trying to sell my iMac and my desktop pc so I can buy a new and ALOT better machine..

Hardware list:
Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 (You know this one..)
Graphicscard: Asus EN8800GT/G/HTDP/512M, GeForce 8800GT, 512MB GDDR3, Dual DVI, TV-Out, HDTV, HDCP Ready, PCI-Express, Retail
Motherboard: ASRock 4CORE1600TWINS-P35D, Intel P35, GLAN, 8 Channel Surround Audio, SATAII,
eSATA, Dual PCI-Express, Dual DDR2-800 / DDR3-1066/1333, LGA775
RAM: Kingston DDR2-800, 2x2048MB (Can be updated later to 8gb ^^ )
HDD: 320 GB – SATAII-300 (Fluid) – 7200 RPM / 16MB cache
PSU: Xilence - Gaming Edition, 600W, Low-Noise, 13cm REDWING Fan, ~18 dBa
Case: CoolerMaster Elite RC-330, Black
Monitor: Asus - 20” VW202SR, Widescreen, 0.258 dot, 5ms, D-sub, 1680x1050


As some of you know - I quadbox 4 shamans, and with this I believe I should be able to gain something like: 50fps on the main and 20fps on the slaves.. Am I right?
(Right now I'm running 50fps on the main too, but on a mac, and only something like 15fps on the slaves on my desktop machine - I wanna run it all on ONE machine )

imo go for the 8800 GTX 500 or 700 mb version
little more $, but a lot more power

Price differs alot here in Denmark.. So I will stay with the GT version.

I should be able to just use the same harddrive for Windows AND the WoW folder(s) when its a 7200 rpm / 16mb cache right?

well i build my new pc not that long ago, and i happen to live same place as you

I did ask on a forum aswell and i got some usefull replys, i took all the items "takeMe" postet Here and ordet em, and i think its a relly nice pc, the price for all pices is prolly lower today as its 4 month since iv got mine

And you your hdd can easy run windows and quadboxig on that harddrive.

But if you want a powerfull silent and cheap machine this one is nice

Here is the PC I bought, I run 4 shamans and have no problems what so ever.

Only 549.00 I paid 770 with a 22 inch Flat Screen. All High Definition. Did'nt even have to buy a video card. the onboard was good enough.

Sadly.. We dont got any "good" prebuild manufactures here in Denmark.. :/

I say get a Q9400 cpu and an ATI4850 video card. But I don't know if that'll break your budget.

Can't afford the CPU - Or the 1024mb ram gfx card.. But a ATI4850 512mb version, I can afford.. But how big is the difference then?

[iztehzha]

The HD4850 is better even in the 512mb version.. And wont blow my budget.. (or well, it will.. But only VEERRRYYY little :P )
