I'm planning to try my first build. I have the case an Eagle Tech ET-CAV2 aluminum. It has 2 80mm fans. I'll be using it for internet access, gaming, photo editing and would like to use it as a TV. I'm thinking of the following components:
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600
Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit (should I just get OEM or is there a good reason to get retail?)
Gigabyte GA-P35 DS3R http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128050 or
MSI P35 Neo2-FR http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130098 or
Foxconn P35A-S http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813186124 or
Gigabyte GA-P35C DS3R
2 or 4 GB of memory
OCZ platinum revision 2 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227139 or
Corsair SMX2 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145034 or
Crucial Ballistix http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820146565
DVD Burner Liteon http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827106070
DVD ROM ASus http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827135151
power supply Apevia 680w http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817148022
video EVGA Geoforce 8800GTS 320 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130082
I want a 19 or 20" monitor and need suggestions on keyboard and mouse, tv tuner, speakers. Also do I need extra fans, heatsinks whatever. I may try overclocking in the future.
Thanks
