New PC
So I finally broke down and build a new system, it’s been almost 4 years since my last system overhaul so it was time.. I decided to go with an Intel based system, my first and I have to admit – I am impressed.
Here are the specs:
Case:
Antec 900
Motherboard:
ASUS P5B Deluxe LGA 775 Intel P965 Express ATX
Proc:
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 Conroe 2.4GHz LGA 775
Hard Drive:
Western Digital Raptor X WD1500AHFD 150GB 10,000 RPM Serial ATA150
RAM:
CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)
Video Card:
EVGA 640-P2-N825-AR GeForce 8800GTS 640MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SUPERCLOCKED HDCP
PSU:
Antec True Power Trio TP3-650 ATX12V 650W Power Supply
Needless to say, this was a huge upgrade over my last system – I am currently playing WoW and BF2142 at 1280X1024 with max detail on and maintain full frames at all times..
I also upgraded my monitors, I got 2 of the Viewsonic VX922 Flat Panels – they have a 2ms response time which is great for gaming – my first taste of the flat panel world and I love it.
