New Rig, opinions welcomed

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I've got a big juicy tax rebate heading my way and my current comp is on its last legs, was wondering if anyone more enlightened than I would mind having a look at the following system just incase I'm off the mark for what I need. Its designed with FSX in mind, however I'd like a second opinion.

I made a few changes myself after reading other similar threads (PSU, cooling, HD, optical 2, and card reader).

 

PSU Thermaltake Toughpower 650W

Pro Core2 Duo E8400 6MB Cache

CS Thermaltake Golden Orb Cooler

GC BFG GeForce 9800 GXT+ OC 512MB PCIE

Me 4GB Corsair DDR2 800MHz C5 Twin2X

MB Asus P5Q Pro Socket 775

HD 250GB Cavair SE16 SATA 300

OD1 DVD-Rom X16

OD2 DVD-RW 20X

RSt All in 1 Card Reader USB 2.0

 

Vista Home Basic

 

it now comes in at: £951.71

 

I appreciate any insight you may have.

I take it you will be loading Vista in 64-bit? Otherwise you're just wasting some of that 4GB of RAM.

 

You could probably get an E8600 and a GTX 260 for only a little more and you'll see a noticeable difference.

thanks, yeah It would be in 64 Bit. Sent them an Email enquiring about upgrading to the E8600 since it isnt on the options list.
