HARD DRIVE: Western Digital WD1002FAEX Black (Have always liked WD, and seems to be about as dependable as any - Sata 3g is a non point I know, but the 64m buffer may help a little and the price was the same as the WD1001. POWER SUPPLY: Corsair TX650w (Had to get a better PS for graphics card, read lots of reviews and this seemed like the one) GRAPHICS CARD: EVGA GTX 460 1 gig (Stars in eyes by this time, made huge difference in WoW over the Radeon HD 4350 I was using) System Usage from Most to Least Important: I'm very big on rock solid dependability, I play a little Wow, and I want a machine I can play around with Overclock settings and not kill.ĬASE: I have a Diablotek Evo case, probably not the best case but it was the first part I bought on an impulse (Grr.) does have 4 120mm fans though, bottom mounted power supply, and was cheap.ĬD/DVD: New Samsung, works - checked it out in a hp pavilion p4 I have at work (actually what I initally went in the store for) I have been able to use it to test some of the parts I've bought so far but I have reached the point where it will no longer serve.Īpproximate Purchase Date: ASAP - should maybe have posted this earlier, but my patience is running low.īudget Range: Depends on a few factors, have around $500 today I think - can spend more but would have to wait - see above. I have a Gateway DX4822-01 that has actually been a really good computer, but pretty limited as far as improvements go. I think I have a pretty fair idea of what I want/need but I've always tried to check with people who know more than I do whenever possible. I've been playing catch up for the last month or so, lots reading. ![]() I've moved the location of this post a couple of times - this forum section seems the best fit, but will use the template from system builds. Sadly, I wandered into the wrong shelves at CompUsa and here we are again. The last overclocking I did was back in the Intell dx2 / Amd K62 days. ![]() Hello, I am returning to overclocking after many years away.
