Hey everyone.
I haven't been online in nearly a year. I used to have a Q6600 rig that I sold for a mountain bike, and kind of got out of computers. However, I don't think hiding from my true passion because it's socially unacceptable is a good idea anymore.
I am mainly a Mac guy. I love the Mac OS but honestly, I can't afford any more Mac crap. My iBook just died on me and I need a new computer, so I am going to build a PC and stick OS X on it. My goals are for the computer to look trick, perform well under both OS X and Windows, and cost under $550.
I am about to order the parts, and came back to XS to see if any of you gurus had advice for me.
One thing I would like to point out before I give the specs is that I am buying a GTX 260 for a friend (NetBurstXE on here) and he is giving me an E4600, an 8600GTS, and some cash in return, so switching CPUs is pretty much not an option.
Anyway... specs as of now...
ABS Aplus Monolith case
Corsair 400W PSU
Gigabyte GA-G31M-ES2L motherboard
4GB Corsair PC-6400 memory
WD 320GB HDD
EVGA 8600GTS
Sony DVD-RW
That's about it, what do you guys think?
THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP!!!
