Planning on Building a PC next month

I made a wish list on New egg for parts I want to get for my future gaming pc
but I'd love to here your Comments and advice on it. what you think I should do different or not do Ect.
I was told the Difference between Duo and Quad wasn't really noticable for gaming
That's why I chose Duo.
Also I'm yet to decide on a mother board I want one that will support future updates I might do.
and wont burn up or crash.
Future Computer

well im semi to my dream computer i need a new processor ram and a new case

that's pretty expensive all i can say is good luck with it all

I'm sorry I can't help you much but I do know a good site for PC building, It's about building a computer, http://http://computer.howstuffworks...a-computer.htm

1,000 for a computer lol? Do you have that much on you?

Microsoft XP 64 bit? I've never used it but my friends that have told me its not as good as 32 bit. It'll slow you down and its just bad. The last sentence is almost an exact quote from someone tried tried 64 bit xp lol.

as for GPU i would recommend this one: Newegg.com - XFX PVT98FYDF9 GeForce 9800 GTX 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards

9800gtx much better and EVGA may be "namey" but their products aren't as great as XFX, especially when dealing with Graphics Cards. I have exp with both and so far XFX products are hell of a lot more stable and you can overclock with confidence but there is still a risk of it blowing up lol, but its still a lower risk than EVGA imo.

And really? Patriot Ram? lol, OCZ and Corsair pwns Patriot any day in stability and power. I'd recommend these: Newegg.com - XFX PVT98FYDF9 GeForce 9800 GTX 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards

I have the 1 gb version of those cards on my server. Runs great, I run them for months at a time and the heatsinks are really good and ITS CHEAPER lol. Great for gaming. Lower voltage than others so you don't have to worry about it hogging power.

If you want OCZ go with these: Newegg.com - XFX PVT98FYDF9 GeForce 9800 GTX 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards

very good even though the voltage is higher the ram gives you happiness lol

I am not gonna comment on the CPU or the case, good choices

As for the PSU, i really doubt you will need a 1000 watts of power with the stuff you have, you can get it, i won't complain but i think you are just wasting money on power that you won't use. A 700 watt should be fine but thats up to you.

Good luck building the thing :)

Trying to slim down the price actually. $700-ish would be nice...

@Linux I'll look at all that, see what I get and post the results.

if you want $700ish then dont get the extra CPU fan, the original cpu will come with a fan and that will be enough unless you plan on making the whole thing super hot

and also the case is not that much of a deal, it just gives you room and the exterior looks, you can try to tone down and get a case for around $40 instead of the $90 you have on there

note: i didn't check rebates or other savings.

Hmm, is DDR3 Worth the extra cost?

Also, Linux, all your links are the same?

rofl i just noticed, firefox didn't copy properly

corsair memory: Newegg.com - CORSAIR 4GB Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Desktop Memory

and ocz: Newegg.com - OCZ Platinum Edition 4GB Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Desktop Memory

the gpu is correct

sorry about that, didn't notice my copy feature wasn't working properly

and also if you are talking about DDR3 RAM then no, don't get it, not worth it right now, they are also slow for some reason but if you want DDR3 GPU then go for it

Linux you seem to know alot you build you PC?
