Building a new rig. Need Suggestions.

Exactly. Better wait for a few months to see how they do. Even so, the OCZ is still the better buy.

StrangleHold - That's $110... not $80. If you still wanted to get it, I'd step up to: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...OCZ%2b700W , cheaper, and better.

Yeah found this and added it after digging around some more... here's an updated version.

I took the case out because I'm getting it for free from my cousin who got an extra and doesn't need it. Just posted it the first time to show you all. 100$+ in mail in rebates XD

E8400 = Gaming

Q6600 = Multitasking

E6850 = Crap

Take in mind that it might not fit. Just sayin

mattxmiggz · 03-26-2008, 02:29 AM

E8400 is alwayyyyys out of stock.

EVERYWHERE.

and did you mean to say NOT fit? sorry just confused.

**oscaryu1** · 03-26-2008, 02:32 AM

Ah yes, thank you very much for catching that mistake.

Well, what do you do more? Multitask or game?

ATX may not fit in a mATX-designed case...

Lol it's not crap!

But mattxmiggz, the E6750 is a way better choice for $90 less

*edit* heres an E8400 in stock http://www.computerforum.com/115830-...-ewiz-com.html

and have you looked at the Corsair HX520 PSU?

mattxmiggz · 03-26-2008, 02:57 AM

Yeah i was looking at that before but decided to go with 3ghz.

Hmm now this has got me thinking... do you have a good mATX mobo?

ramodkk · 03-26-2008, 03:03 AM

Nope I don't know of a good micro-atx mobo, but does it have to be micro-ATX? I guess any GIGABYTE, ASUS or the like would be good. Do you already have a case in mind?

Also that PSU I mentioned, the HX520 is modular so you can plug only the cables that you need
