Advide on new Computer

jjsevdt · 11-16-2006, 05:52 AM

I'm not really on a budget, I just don't want to spend $5000. Here's what I put together, I just want to know if I've over looked something or forgot anything.

Case: GIGABYTE GZ-FA1CA-ASS Silver

MOBO: ASUS P5N32-E SLI Socket T (LGA 775) NVIDIA nForce 6 80i

CPU: Intel C2EE

GFX card: BFG Tech BFGR88768GTXE GeForce 8800GTX

HD: Western Digital Caviar RE2 WD5000YS 500GB

PSU: 700W Power Supply

Extra: Physx Card

I'll be getting this with my income tax return next year, but I probably won't change anything. I was just wondering if anyone had any thoughts of whether setting up two 7900gx2's in SLI would offer good enough performance to justify having 2. Is there more games using SLI yet or not?

That CPU is fine, no need to change it

That's really all I needed, thanx.

Ok I had one more thing. The Pentium EE and the Pentium C2EE are basically the same, except one has more cache and the C2EE doesn't use hypertheading. Which is better?

Why you dropping a K on a CPU when you can get one that will work just as well for ~500$? http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/Produc...ductCode=80861
