Feedback on current part selection for next build.

ETSA · 09-09-2006, 04:01 PM

Ok I have ammened my build again and need some feedback/suggestions. Feel free to be specific and let me know details for or reasoning, even if it is just brand preference. I want to ensure compatability and that I am getting the most bang for my buck, which is hovering around 1500.00 US. I am open to suggestions and am not dead set on these parts.

I am most open to video card selection I like that series but have no problem moving to Nvidia for the right reasons. I liked the stock cooling on that particular card.

This is for gaming/everyday use.
