My second full build

[RyanAndrew88]

I am pondering this setup:
Motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813135026

Processor: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819115003

Processor Fan: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835103001

Memory: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820146580

Video Card: BFG 7800GT (2 of them so SLI)

PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817190012

Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811128010

DVD Burner: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=5161838

Using my current hard drives for the time being


How does that sound? Suggestions obviously welcome!

Good.
How big is the hardrive?

I'd get this motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813128012

Or the new 680i chipset but not the Nforce 5. Just me though.

I need 2x pci express x16 slots for my video cards.

I have 2 ide hard drives at the moment 1 40gb and one 80gb. I just don't have the money to upgrade that right now, plus the hassle of reinstalling everything.

i wouldn't buy anything branded ECS... they are usually known to be very unreliable...

 

[RyanAndrew88]

OK, then I need a mobo to meet my above needs. I would prefer overclockable but its not necessary. Also, I can get an IDE adaptor if there is only 1 IDE adaptor on the mobo. Thanks.

 

[goosy22]

if you can spend the extra $150, i'd highly recommend this mobo...

 

[Grey410]

Save the money by dropping to the E6300 and get the mobo goosy suggested. Then just OC the cpu to 2.8 or so.

I wish I could afford that. I have a strict budget to work with. Mostly being what I get for christmas and what I get for my old computer. So unless someone is willing to donate me the money for that I will have to pass lol.

Well based on what you posted just switch from the E6600 to the E6300 which will save you $120. Then come up with $30 and get the EVGA 680i SLI mobo. But the 570 board will probly be fine.

Maybe I will use my NewEgg preffered account and not have to pay for 6 months. THat way I will have more cash in the end to pay for it.
