Considering new build
Ok, the wife currently has a decent system, but she wants a new one.
She has a Q9450, 4 Gig HyperX 1066Mhz RAM, 9500GT Video card, 500G Seagate HDD
I told her to keep her current hard drive, but will upgrade to an SSD later on when more cash becomes available.
Now the system I am looking at building is as follows. (All prices are in AU$)
Asus P7H55D-M Pro @ $128
ASUSTeK Computer Inc.
Intel Core i5 650 3.2Ghz @ $ 224
Intel® Core™ i5-650 Processor (4M Cache, 3.20 GHz) with SPEC Code(s) SLBLK
4G (2x2G) DDR3 1600 Kingston Hyper X Blue @ $144

Asus 1G 5670 $129
ASUSTeK Computer Inc.
AeroCool VX-E Pro @ $95
Aerocool PGS Vx-E
Thermaltake ToughPower XT 775 @ $178
Thermaltakeusa*»*Power Supply*»*600W - 850W*»*Toughpower XT 775W : Toughpower XT 775W TPX-775M
Now I think the PSU should do fine considering it's a certified 80Plus, it might even be a tad overkill.
If anyone has had some personal experience with any of these products, I'd love to hear your thoughts. And those that haven't used these parts, I'd still love to hear your opinions on the prospective build components and any opinions on the use of different parts.
Cheers in advance,
