The following is the specs for a case that I hope to have completed by late spring/early summer.
Case: Antec SX1200 Have
PSU: Enermax Liberty 620 (modded by http://www.performance-pcs.com ) Ordered
Motherboard: MSI K8N Diamond Plus SLI Ordered
CPU: AMD Opteron 175 CCBWE 0543TPMW Ordered
Graphics Card: 2 x eVGA 7800 GTX KO SLI Have
Sound: Creative Labs SB Audigy 2ZS Have
Memory: 2GB ???? Brand PC4000 (PC3200?) DDR (2 x 1024) TBD
Optical Drive1: Asus 52X CD-R Have
Optical Drive2: Plextor PX-716A DVD+RW Have
HDD: Primary > 1 x WD Raptor 74 Gig SATA, 8Mb Buffer Have Secondary > 2 x HITACHI T7K250 250GB (RAID1?) TBO
You’ll notice that the brand of memory is blank. Corsair XMS was originally picked, but then I “tripped” across G. Skill >> decisions, decisions, etc. Okay G. Skill, but which one? When it comes to memory (just memory?) I can be totally clueless.
I think with the system spec’s gaming can be considered it’s primary function, followed by business apps, web surfing, CADD, and the picture thing (stills & maybe some video).
Do I want to go with the PC4000 or one of the high performance 3200’s? With the MIR, the PC4000 will defiantly assist in “attempt” at keeping the system budget under control (yah – right!).
