My soon to be specs.

Silenus · December 19th, 2006

So here the things I'm going to buy on newegg.

ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 Pro CPU Cooler - Retail

Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 Conroe 1.86GHz LGA 775 Processor Model BX80557E6300 - Retail

Thermaltake W0093RU ATX 12V 2.0 Version 500W Power Supply - Retail

G.SKILL 1GB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Standard System Memory Model F2-6400CL5S-1GBNQ - Retail

ASUS P5B-E Socket T (LGA 775) Intel P965 Express ATX Intel Motherboard - OEM

The total without shipping and tax is $525.96.

I'm not going to buy a video card right now cause I'm waiting for the nvidia 8600 to hit the shelves.
In the meantime I'll manage with a 7300gs I have here.

What do you think, is it a good deal?

Nucking Futs · December 19th, 2006

And what's the price with shipping and tax?

Silenus · December 19th, 2006

I don't live in the US, and I don't have the zip code of the person which will buy that for me now, but it's below the 600 I hope.

I think you better get a better air cooler if you're going to overclock more than 2.4GHz...try a Zalman CNPS 9500 LED or 9700 and Tuniq Tower 120, these are the best air coolers.

Silenus · December 20th, 2006

Thanks.
I've seen some people get 3.0ghz with the ACF 7.
I'll check the Zalman, hope is not too pricey.

makotech222 · December 20th, 2006

nahhh. conroes arehitting a 40% price reduction 2007q2 so im prolly gonna wait till then to get a new pc along with cheaper dxcards and maybe pcie 2.0

Silenus · December 20th, 2006

You can wait 'cause you got a good rig, I sold my whole cpu without the sata hardisk a week ago.
So I need this quickly.

Nucking Futs · December 20th, 2006

Nice rig pricely and speedways.

Silenus · December 20th, 2006

Thanks, I will place the order today or tomorrow.
By next week I'll have the parts in my house (Dominican Republic).

makotech222 · December 21st, 2006

oh yeah right then. well i recommend the E6600 which has the extra l2 cache. i think its worth it for the extra money. Also, if u plan on going vista, add another gig of ram.

Silenus · December 21st, 2006

Thanks for the advice, I'm going Vista but I'll get another ram later with the new video card.
A little low on cash right now.

To be honest, that's the cooler I have, and even though my overclock isn't much (1.86 Ghz -> 2.1 Ghz), my temps never get above 42 under full load. The Freezer 7 Pro is a VERY nice cooler and is extremely quiet.

Silenus · December 23rd, 2006

Yeah, I saw you recommended that cooler on another thread.
That's why I'm getting it.
