Good evening all, I am trying to put together a new rig and would like any critiques and or suggestions as to what I've put together so far.
The PC will be used mainly for normal day to day activity such as web browsing and moderate gaming, mainly MMORPGs and FPS games. There may be a chance I also use it for playing around with sample Oracle databases, but I wouldn't have an issue wiping and using my current rig for that if I can't put together something strong enough.
My goal currently is to keep it at or under $800. I already have an LCD monitor, 630w power supply and a cpu that I'm not sure I need to bother upgrading just yet. Attached are the components, and thanks for your time.
Current components to carry over:
CPU- Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield 2.4GHz 2 x 4MB L2 Cache LGA 775 Quad-Core Processor
Power supply - RAIDMAX HYBRID 2 RX-630SS 630W ATX12V V2.2/ EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Modular Modular LED Power Supply
Monitor - Acer X223Wbd Black 22" 5ms Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 2500:1
Components for new PC:
Case - Antec Nine Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Mobo - ASUS P5Q Pro Turbo LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard

RAM - Kingston HyperX T1 Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory
