I’m excited looking forward buys first time for build my own PC this weekend hopefully.
Here my wish choice list kit search after most CG Architect forum popular choice
CPU: -Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 - 65mm, 775, 2.4 GHz, 1066MHz, 8MB Cache
CPU Cooler:-Big fin heat sink i.e. Cool Master
Motherboard: -Unknown, Hard to choice which – Maybe Intel P4 - nForce 780i SLI or Abit IP35. It took me long time decides which one.
Note:- I’m not sure which latest motherboard is best one. Can you help me point it out correct one, Please see list on website: -
www.scan.co.uk or
www.cclonline.co.uk
Graphic Card: -512MB NVidia Geforce 8800 GT
RAM:- 4GB Ram DDR2 ( 2 x 2MB Ram slot ) with copper heat sink plate.
Maybe possible get maximum 8GB if I find cheap one.
PSU - 550W
Drive: -DVD-RW and DVD Rom and 3.5 Inch floppy Disk Drive - Do we need it or not
HHD: - 120GB for Master drive & 250GB for Slave Drive
Soundcard: -Unimportant & not care – Any crap cheap one good enough for me
Software: -OEM XP Professional X64 Edition SP 2 – If I can find one
Do you think it good enough for high model 3D Max and Photoshop?
Few other questions (slightly off my record):-
1) Is SLI motherboard and SLI Graphic Card is waste of money and not worth? After I find other website forum suggest it is for gamer hardcore only. Not good for 3D render? Is that true.
2) Do you think should I wait for few months until new CPU Yorkfield / Penyrn come out and Core 2 Extreme or Quad price will drop down?
