Hey everyone,
Been following the forums for a while now, compiling a new build of my own based on various discussions.
- Purpose of this system is software development, occasional viewing and encoding of media, and gaming. Hoping to make it at least 1 year future-proof for games.
- Will not be overclocking (at least not initially)
Please feel free to throw any suggestions or comments at me!
Here's what I have in mind:
-----------------------------------
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450
MoBo: ASUS P5Q3 DELUXE/WIFI-AP CH1-11 LGA 775 Intel P45
GPU: Visiontek Radeon HD 4870
RAM: Patriot 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Model PDC34G1333LLK
PSU: Corsair HX620W
Case: Antec Sonata Designer 500 Silver Mid Tower
HD: Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 ST3500320AS 500GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s
Thoghts? Ideas? Impressions? Will be this give me a rig that's responsive enough for productive software development (Visual Studio IDE, databases, tools, etc) and fast enough to keep up with the games coming out in the next year or so?
Thanks!
