I'm looking for a few, small suggestions on choosing parts for my ongoing lga775-based retro gaming build of sorts. Won't go too in depth though, but it's going good.
So here's what I need suggested:
1. A good 750W (or higher) power supply that has 4x 6-pin PCI-e connectors? Best I could find so far is ones that only have 2x.
2. A good cooler for lga775 that'll be going on an overclocked Core 2 Extreme. I'm looking for something that looks powerful like this (Assassin III), but I'm happy to go with liquid cooling (AIO) if it's better, era specificness won't bother me.
3. Some sort of USB3 card that allows me to plug in the case's internal USB3 header, as the motherboard doesn't have it.
And any other tips for a build like this? I'm going maxed out with the top of 8GB that my board takes, and I'm going to be using two 9800GTX's in SLI. The build is over the top probably but I already owned half of these bits so I'm just doing it for fun now, but I'd like it to still be a capable machine that one day I might sell or something. Any improvements would be appreciated and I don't care about price too much, but not over the top.
Budget for the 3 parts listed above is about $300-350 AUD total.
Thanks.
