I am waiting for my tax return to buy the parts to finish my computer! Sadly I have all of two parts so far. My Antec 900 case (seen above) and a power supply.
My obsessive personality is making this pure hell for me. Every day I pick out different parts. I vacillate over spending more money or which DDR memory to pick or what color scheme to try to go by (yeah I am sick.)
So here is what I picked out tonight...
Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3R LGA 775
This board is awesome at a really low price. It has the same chip sets as most boards up to 200$. It supports a lot of memory (16gig) and it just looks cool. I hear its easy to Overclock on it too, though im not really sure if I will be messing with that.
Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 2.33GHz 4MB L2 Cache LGA 775
Pretty much the cheapest Quad Core on the market by Intel. I don't really trust AMD and for no good reason (I'm just crazy). I am a little hesitant to go with Dual Core, lol what if I missed out on something because I didn't go quad!
Video Card: ASUS ENGTS250 DK/HTDI/1GD3 GeForce GTS 250 1GB
This card looks hot! I just had a scary thought though. The memory on it is DDR3 what if my mobo wont run it because of that? Maybe im just being crazy. But it totally looks hot, awesome stats and the fan should keep it very cool.
Memory: G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) x2
I think that this will cover all my memory needs (maybe overkill).
Other than that im going with a 500g HD and a DVD burner, yawn.
But I can't ******* wait!
