Default Possible new system specs...

Thinking of this for my system:

eVGA nVidia 780i motherboard
Intel Q6600(Quad Core) CPU
2GB(2x1GB) DDR2-1066 OCZ Platinum Memory
eVGA 8800GTS(G92) 512MB video card

This will be an update to my current system, so I will be using the same case, hard drives, optical drives and power supply.

Let me know what you think!

eVGA 780i (nForce v15.17)
Intel Q9450 Quad-Core (Running @ 3.2Ghz w/1600Mhz FSB)
Zalman CNPS9700 LED CPU Cooler
OCZ Platinum PC2-8500 4Gb DDR2 RAM (4x1GB, Dual Channel)
eVGA 8800GTS(G92) 512 x2 SLI (GeForce v177.79)
Samsung 750Gb SATAII HD x2
LG GSA-H55N/L DVD+/-RW x2
Thermaltake Armor VA8003BWS Black Case
Ultra X3 1000W PS
Windows XP:Pro SP3
Gateway FHD2400 24" 1920 x 1200 LCD

mm... maybe u should wait some days to see if the new yorkfield cores come out (actually, they're just two wolfdales glued together :P)

they're 45nm and feature 12mb cache memory
and these new cpu's transistors are hafnium based, so it's supposed to perform better and be more power efficient


the rest seems good, but why are u changing ur 3d board?

I chose the Q6600 for the price. How before the Yorkfields are released?

I am actually keeping my GTX, the GTS is going with the old system.
