New build

[=(eGO)=DAWG1]

Ok everyone, get out your wish list.

I'm thinking about starting a build on my next computer. If money were no object, even though it is, what would you use? Include chassis to graphics card and everything in between.

Computer to be used for media, work , and gaming.

Hopefully I'll be able to use some of these ideas.

Good rig but i'd change the 8600's to one 8800GT or GTS,the 8600's are not really great unless you stick to older games.

Just my 2 cents.

 

[boomstick]

thats exactly right, the 8600' are horrible cards for the price, expecially SLI , if you are tight on money atleast get a 9600gt or an 8800GS, Even 8800GT, but deffinitely not an 8600.

 

[=(eGO)=DAWG1]

Thanks Kev. I have a 8800gt alreaddy and could swap it out. I may send you a pm to see if you like to put one togetther for me when i'm ready.
