Title: Pulled the trigger on a new system
Post by: Akkori on January 29, 2008, 04:58:39 AM
It ended up being a little shy of $900. I downgraded a couple things to get into a more comfortable zone financially. Namely the video card and PSU.

MB                 GIGABYTE GA-X38-DS4 775
MEM               1Gx2 CRUCIA BL2KIT12864AA1065
VGA               PNY VCG86512GXPB-OC 8600GT 512M
PSU               OCZ OCZ600GXSSLI 600W
CPU COOLER   CM RR-CCH-LB12-GP CoolerMaster
CPU               INTEL E8400 3G 775 45N

I'm already planning to upgrade the graphics to a PCI-e 2.0 card in about 6 months or so. After I eventually upgrade the Vista, I'll get another 2 GB ram also. Gota love how it is affordable nowadays.
