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
MR

Awesome. Oh and it can be over clocked but I'd get a 3rd party heat sink
if you wanna try that.
If you are looking to make the machine quiet then I'd highly recommend
the Noctua NH-U12P CPU heat sink whether or not you are over clocking.
Also their Case fans are the best ones on the market.

If you plain on filling up the hard drives and PCI/PCI-e slots then I'd
yes you will be a bit more juice. You can get quiet power supplies in
the 650w and 750w range.
I'd recommend one some of the Thermaltake, Corsair, Antec models with
cable management.

Good board choice. We use the the big brother of that board the GIGABYTE
GA-P35-DS4 Rev. 2.0.
Do you require Firewire. The DS3L does not have it.
If you do and you don't want to use a PCI PCI-e slot to do then I'd
recommend the board we are using. It uses TI firewire and works quite good.

I'd go for OCZ, Super Talent, Corsair, Crucial brands personally. Get

New Egg has decent prices and very good over all support for a large

You don't mention the Case or the video card. Your old video card WILL
NOT work. If you are reusing an old case make sure it is a mid-sized or
full sized ATX.
Also current motherboards only have 1 IDE port. So only 2 IDE devices
can be attached.. You will be using one of these for your DVD/CD drive.
Your audio. Samples drive will need to be SATA. IF you need to buy new
ones then the Seagate 16meg and 32 meg cache drives will be great choices.
I'd recommend these fanless dual head video cards.
GIGABYTE GV-NX86T256H GeForce 8600GT 256MB

Chris,
Thank you for responding. ALL of the feedback will be very helpful. I really
appreciate your expertise. Regarding the ram, I'd rather go with Crucial,
but the Kingston was the only stick I could find that was close to what Gigabyte
recommended. Is it critical to only get the sticks on their list, or can
I change it up? I also thought about getting a vid card, but, for the moment,
I'm going to hold off -budget issues.
Once again Chris, thanks.

Yes Crucial will be a good choice. Being on the list is not very
important on the Gigabyte board unless you plaining on some extreme
tweaking for gaming.

What are you using for video then? There is no on board video and no AGP
port.

Hey Chris.
Doh. I was never real good at reading directions. I'll have to install a
rubber band on my wrist when I do the build and snap it every so often. As
I didn't factor the vid card into the budget I have to go with something
alittle less expensive. I'm looking the Chaintech GSV73LE, the Gigabyte
GV-RX24T256, and the quiet inexpensive (but generally well reviewed) Asus
EN6200LE. No games on the computer only the "daw game" Reaper. I think these
cards are ok??

HI Mike,
This is the one you want.
ASUS EN7300GT SILENT/HTD/256M GeForce 7300GT 256MB
Chaintech stuff is usually pretty\ poor and the 6200TC is a shared
memory card so it might give you trouble if your filling up PCI slots
with UADs at some point.
ATI chipset drivers are still way to bloated for me. Never had good luck
with them in DAWs.

Chris,
Once again, thanks! I'm probably going to order up in a day or two. I'm
trying to decide which tower to scavenge. I've got a couple of atx 'putes
that will have to die. I'm looking forward to the build, and its been kind
of fun staying up late, sipping Dr. Pepper and making sure all the pieces-parts
will play nice together.
Cheers,
MR
