Well, my trust 3200+ has died on me, leaving my PC completely rebuilt. Yep, that's right, every fucking part in my PC has been replaced since that fatefull day that I bought a PC from that horrible little shop (except my video card and DVD drive, which have been very faitful). This time, I'm doing it right:
System Name: Sianne
Function: Main System, Gaming System, Development System
Total Cost: 2500$
Input:
Saitek Eclipse
Razer Copperhead
Output:
2 NEC LCD72V 17" LCD Flat Panels at 1280x1024@75hz
Altec Lansing GT5051 5.1 Speakers
Tower:
Opteron 165
2 GB of OCZ Gold GX
DFI NF4 SLI-DR Expert
OCZ Powerstream 520
eVGA 7800GT CO
Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum
Samsung 250GB Spinpoint Drive
Mitsumi 7 in 1 Card Reader/Floppy
Thermaltake Armor
LG GSA-4160B
Cooler Master 120MM Fans
Several of these devices are migrating from the old PC. Those devices taht don't migrate are being sold to help pay for it. The ability to upgrade to SLI when I need to is available and will be taken advantage of in due time...
This was, beleive it or not, a budget build. Mostly I went with the cheapest of the best. For example, a Dual Core CPU with 1MB of L2 cache that can take almost 1Ghz overclock with no extra voltage? Too good to not buy, trust me. On top of that, I purchased the 7800GT over the 7800GTX, mainly because the GTX was only slightly faster... and well, in teh overclocking spirit I chose the more price conscience option.
I haven't ordered teh RAM yet, mostly because as it stands my funds will be quite low until next week, and by teh end of the month they'll actually be right where they were before I purchased. :D
I'm quite happy I decided to buy this instead of a replacement chip... we'll see how she does. :D
I should be ashamed of myself.
