Hey everyone,
After 4 years with my trusty P4 2.4ghz, it's time to move on. I'm a keen gamer but also plan to do some film editing on my next beast. So far this is what I'm going with.
Core 2 Duo E6600
WD 320gb SATA2 16mb 7200rpm
2gb STT DDR2-800 (2x1gb) - these sound like the bomb at the moment?
Waiting on some more DX10 video cards to come out before making a decision. In terms of the motherboard, this is where I'm not the brightest fish in the oven, so to speak.
Looking at Foxconn 955X7AA-8EKRS2 - seems to have everything I need for an alright price. Am I missing something? I'm stupidly paranoid I'm going to go ahead with the purchase and have some compatibility issues.
In terms of OCing I don't think I'm planning on pushing it much at all - a small 5-10% increase would be nice but nothing that requires more cooling solutions at this stage.
I'd really appreciate advice/suggestions - I know you all get barrages of them but I figure you enjoy flexing your knowledge muscles, so to speak.
Cheers guys.
Dylan
