Ok, finally, after some months of thought, and saving, I'm ready to buy into
a new system. Keeping Paris, but I wanted to give Reaper a go. Currently
I'm running two computers to work stuff up, and I'd like to try out a "total"
ITB solution. Here's the parts list:
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield 2.4GHz 2 x 4MB L2 Cache LGA 775 Quad-Core
Processor - Retail
279.99 (includes fan and heat sink)
COOLER MASTER eXtreme RP-500-PCAR ATX from factor 12V V2.01 500W Power Supply
- Retail
Item #: N82E16817171018 (will I need more power?)
39.99
GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail
Supports: Intel Core™ 2 Quad Q6600 2.40HGz 8MB Kentsfield 65nm G0 95W 1066
F2
89.99
Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3160815AS 160GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive
- OEM
52.99
Kingston 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)
Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model KVR800D2K2/2GR - Retail
46.99
I'm, currently, shopping at Newegg. The prices seem competitive. I've checked
the mobo for ram and processor compatibility. The Kingston memory is not
an exact match. I'm looking at: KVR800D2K2/2GR and Gigabyte recommends:
KVR800D2N5/1G. Do you think this is OK?
I'm probably not going with the Cooler Master psu, but does will 500W be
enough? I'm planning on running two more hd's (audio and backup drives)
and one DVD rom player in the box.
Thanks amigos
