New Core2Duo Overclocking Rig (Pics to come)

[kent1146]

All-

Thank you for the advice and ideas you have given me on what to put in my next system. I was going to wait a few more months, but several recent price drops and rebates have caused me to pull the trigger on this a little early.

The following parts are on order, and will arrive on Thursday:

Core2Duo E6420 2.13Ghz CPU - $190
Tuniq Tower 120 CPU Cooler - $65
EVGA nForce650i Ultra Motherboard - $110/$100
EVGA GeForce 8800GTS 640MB Superclocked Video Card - $380/$350
Corsair XMS2 2GB (2x1GB) DDR2 800 RAM Kit - $155/$105
Antec P150 White Steel Case w/430W PSU - $140
Maxtor 500GB 7200rpm SATA2 Hard Drive - $100
Sony NEC Optiarc 18x DVD+-R Burner - $32

Total Price after rebates, discounts, shipping, taxes = $1167.48

I will pull my Creative Labs X-Fi and Western Digital Raptor 74GB 10,000rpm hard drive from my current rig into this new rig.

The plan is to overclock this thing as far as it will go (hoping to reach 3.0Ghz+) and turn it into a cheap gaming machine. I will post pics of the wonderful box of goodies as they arrive from Mr.UPS man, the build process, and the final result later this week when I am done.


Can anybody recommend a good image hosting service where I can host the images?
