Upgrade
« on: August 08, 2009, 10:22:43 AM »
Time for an upgrade. Every two years I usually build all new. Not this year, I still haven't gotten all I can from the Core 2 series and can use the money for other stuff.

My current system is based on the E6850 (3ghz) with a P5KC Asus motherboard. It doesn't support PCIe2.0 and has to go. I have 4 G of dominator RAM. The power supply is not modular wanted to change that out.

upgrade parts:
E8600 wolfdale (3.33 ghz)
Asus P5QL/EPU (P43)
XFX GX275XAHFF (GEFORCE GTX 275 896MB)
CORSAIR CMPSU-620HX  620W Modular.

Also ordered a new case so wife is getting an upgrade from my remaining parts.

Infidelz.

This one is no slouch and actually, cheaper.   But not "cheaper" in the "crappier" way.

Dunno if you've ordered the Corsair already, but it would save you $50 after Rebates.

I'd go with the 750 quad PC power and cooling PS. From what I understand the Corsair is not what they use to be.

I don't think it's Modular, though.
