Hi Hardware Canucks.. I'm new here.. I plan on building a new rig just after Christmas. here is what i have planned and i would like some advice on my components (i plan on purchasing most of it on boxing day).
Used for mainly gaming and some cad design work.
budget is around $500-$550 US (i will be purchasing it all through newegg to save on tax cost... depending on the candian dollar level then...)
I will be doing some overclocking for the first time, other than with previous vid cards. I'm hoping to hit around 3.2-3.6 ghz on the oc
CPU: Q6600
Mobo: Asus P5Q-E
Ram: 4gb (2x2gb) either Muskin Redline or corsair xms 2
Vid Card: Thinking either a 4830 or a 3870... advice?
Power Supply: Corsair tx-750
(Already Have)
Hard Drives: Hitachi 500gb, Maxtor Maxline II 250gb x2
(already have hdd's also)
case: Antec 900 or CM 690
Heatsink: Tuniq tower? not sure on this one
Is that Asus board any good for crossfire also?
thanks for any advice
