what i think: nice configuration
looks like mine

but i've heard that there are a lot of troubles with the combination conroe - ocz memory...
maybe you can check that specificly?

Looks good to me. The only thing I'd change is the CPU. The e6600 is much cheaper.

Hrhr

What do you guys think about this rig

Total cost is: 1570,50 Euro

I don't like the GT graCas but that's up to you I suppose

KamisoriX · 09-04-2006, 07:10 PM

or wait 2 years and get an even better CPU

Magus, the spec is fine. Don't listen to the 6600 mob, the 6700 can overclock even more...

Very nice

I'm going for something similar myself actually. Ended up spending about £1200 in total, which is my most expensive build yet. And that's even after deciding to go for an E6400. Not quite as nice as your 6700 should be (was that the one that beat the FX-60 for half the price?), but the 6400 was only about £150 which tempted me more!

Also X1900XTXs came down in price here recently, so I decided to grab one of those.

Should take delivery of all the bits tomorrow hopefully! I'll post pics if I can. Can't wait. :P

Well it probably would be if an e6200 existed, you arse.

There's not that much difference between the e6600 and e6700, and therefore the e6600 is the better bang for buck.
