Hi guys what do you think of this build: (I'm from Australia btw and I intend to purchase from MSY as they seem to be the cheapest in Sydney)
Processor: Q9550 $335
Motherboard: ASUS P5Q3 DDR3 $194 vs Gigabyte EP45-UD3P DDR2 $185 (Will a DDR3 motherboard make a better build with the q9550 in comparison to the DDR2 one or are there any others from MSY you could recommend)
Graphics Card: 896mb GTX 260 Inno3d $239 vs Gigabyte $255 (any differences besides brand names?)
Hard Drive: Seagate SATA 1TB $125
Ram: 4GB Kit DDR3 1333 G-Skill PI $92 (for DDR3 mobo) or 4GB Kit DDR2 1066 Kingston $89 (for DDR2 mobo)
DVD Drive: Sony SATA Dual Layer DVDRW $39
Sony Internal A-I-O Card $15
Case: Antec 902 $196
PSU: Antec Earthwatts 650w $149 (power supply give me ability to upgrade in the future or if i want to mildly oc is it enough?)
Total: $1470 (adding $70 for putting it together)
I'm looking for value for money and the ability to play high quality games for the next few years.
Also I know alot of people recommend AMD but i'm quite certain I want to stick with Intel
Thanks for any input.
