Hey People.

Im going to build myself a new PC within the next few weeks, but I just need some advice on what you would consider the best components to put in it - also helping me ensure I dont miss anything out.

Basically, I lready have some components within my current PC that I can take to the new one. Notably my RAM, PSU & GFX Card.

Currently im looking at this set up...

Case: Antec Nine Hundred/Ultimate Gamer Case
PSU: X-Power XTX-700TW (Already Own)
Motherboard: Intel 975X S775 Express ATX DDR2
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 Socket 775 2.4GHz
RAM: Crucial CT2KIT12864AA53E 2x1GB PC2-4200 NonECC CL4 (Already Own)
Graphics Card: ATI RADEON X1950 Pro 256MB (Already Own)
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 500GB S300

Simple things like CD/DVD drives I can pick up for not too much, but I am just wondering what you think of it.

Personally I have no problem building it, trouble comes to me when I choose things that will work together - this is why I would like some help, if you can.

Anyway, please post some comments on what you would consider changing or keeping - it would help me alot! Thankyou!

I would stick with that mobo. Or you can change to a Gigabyte GA-965P-S3. I just got one for a Pentium 4 build and it's supposed to be great for Conroe.



AMD Phenom II X6 1100T 4GHz(20 x 200) 1.5v 3000NB 2000HT, Corsair Hydro H110 w/ 4 x 140mm 1500RPM fans Push/Pull, Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD5, 8GB(2 x 4GB) G.Skill RipJaws DDR3-1600 @ 1600MHz CL9 1.55v, Gigabyte GTX760 OC 4GB(1170/1700), Corsair 750HX
