What do you think about the following items.
I have 2 questions so far about case and PSU. I was told I should get a full tower and bigger psu. I plan on OC'n once I get the a better cooler.
Case - Don't really like windows
COOLER MASTER RC-690-KKN1-GP Black
Mobo
GIGABYTE GA-X48-DS4
GPU
EVGA 512-P3-N841-AR GeForce 8800GTS (G92)
PSU
PC Power & Cooling S610EPS 610W
Proc
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450 Yorkfield 2.66GHz - If I can find it. Going Quad for sure due to vidoe conversion and editing
Ram
CORSAIR DOMINATOR 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500)
HD
Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD6400AAKS 640GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - Might go with something cheaper or better... any suggestions? I have plenty of space on my server for files.
Cooler
XIGMATEK HDT-S1283
Now please let me know your thoughts on a case and PSU. Don't plan on dual gpu now, but that doesn't mean I will in about a year. Is there anything else I could tweak to bring the cost down?
I want to play Age of Conan and my old sys will not do it. Plus convering the 100+hrs of family videos into dvds/mpegs requires 4gb and quad proc. At least that is what I told my wife .
I will be using Vista x64 and plan on 8gb of ram at a later date.
