Time for an Upgrade
Written by andy on Sunday, January 14th, 2007 in GamersCircle.
Over the weekend, I mapped out a new system and just got through ordering all of the parts needed:
| Mobo |
| Intel D975XBX2 |
| CPU |
| Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Quad-Core Processor 2.4GHz |
| RAM |
| 2 GB Corsair DDR2 800 |
| Video |
| nVidia GeForce 8800GTX 768mb |
| C Drive |
| WD Caviar 80GB |
| D Drive |
| WD Caviar SE16 320GB |
| DVD Rom |
| Sony 16X |
| CDRW |
| Sony 52x/32x/52x |
| PowerSupply |
| Silverstone 750 Watt modular |
| Case |
| Coolermaster Centurion 5 Mid Tower |
| CPU Fan |
| Zalman CNPS7000B-AlCu |
This is going to be my 2007 & 2008 machine as there are a lot of new games coming out that are going to need more power and since I like the pretty stuff to be pretty and blow me away it was an all or nothing leap.
