I am going to be putting together a new computer for Christmas and I wanted to get some feed back and suggestions. Right now I am thinking about the following components:
Antec Nine Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower
ABIT IP35 LGA 775 Intel P35 Motherboard
ASUS EN8800 GTS/HTDP GeForce 640MB 320-bit GDDR PCI Express x16 Video Card
OCZ GameXStream OCZ700GXSSLI ATX12V 700W Power Supply
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield 2.4 GHz CPU
Crucial Ballistix 2 GB (2 x 1 GB) DDR2 800 SDRAM
Seagate Barracuda 7200 RPM SATA 3.0 Gb/s 250 GB HDD
Lite-On 20x DVD+/-R DVD Burner
Of course, this does not include mouse, keyboard, etc.
I will be installing Windows XP Pro at this point (because Vista seems to be the "Windows Me" of the 21st Century).
I am also considering a 19in CRT Monitor, but if anyone knows of a good LCD, Let me know. By good I mean reliable, high frame rates and good color display. Or, if you know a good CRT in the 19" variety, please let me know as well.
Other than that, what do you think of the above selection? Keep in mind this will be it for probably three years.
Thanks and cheers!
