New Computer
So I plan on building a new desktop this summer, since i'm moving out of my dorm and into an apartment around school where I will have much more space in my room(thank goodness, i'm getting tired of my laptop haha). So anyways, my limit is around $2,500 and I want to use it for gaming/photography. So after going around newegg.com, i've decided on these parts:
-Aspire X-Plorer ATXB8KLW ATX Mid Tower Case
-ASUS A8N-SLI Motherboard
-AcBel API4PC23 ATX 12V 500W SLI Power Supply
-XFX PV-T73G-UDD3 GeForce 7600 GT XXX 256MB PCI Express x16 SLI Video Card(two of these)
-Samsung Black CD/DVD/CDRWCombo Drive
-Samsung Black CD/DVD/CDRW/DVD-R Drive w/ LightScribe
-AMD Athlon 54 x2 4200 Manchester 1GHz HT Dual Core 939 Processor
-Thermaltake Big Typhoon CL-P0114 120mm Fan
-Seagate Barracuda 7200.8 ST3250823AS 250GB 7200RPM Serial ATA150 Hard Drive(two of these)
-Saitek PZ30AU Black 104 Normal Keys Standard Eclipse Keyboard
-Logitech MX610 Laser Mouse
-Corsair XMS 2GB(2x1GB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM Unbuffered Ram
-Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound(two of these)
-Acer ET.L5209.005 Black 19" Widescreen Monitor
-Creative Sound Blaster ExtremeMusic 7.1 X-Fi Sound Card
-Logitech Z-5500 505 Watts 5.1 Speakers
I am wondering if any of you have had any experiences with any of these products, or if you have heard anything. Do you guys recommend I get a certain other product instead of one of the ones i've listed above(for example, a different Nvidia card than the 7600GT listed above)? Are there other things I can do to get more bang for my buck? Thanks ahead of time!
Oh yeah, and I can give you a link to any of the products listed above if you can't find it.
EDIT: Whoops, I forgot to ask another question. Have any of you had experience with SLI? How does it run? Did it meet your expectations?
EDIT2: Whoops again, will Windows Vista be out around fall 2006?
