It's been very quiet here since Halo 3 was released, so just to prove there is more to life then Master Chief I thought I post the details of the new PC gaming rig I'm putting together ready for Crysis and more fitting of a BatCave! ;-)
Decided to go the whole hog in the end an pretty much replaced everything except the case.
Here's the specs-
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 (G0 stepping) - Initiallay wasn't convinced about Quad cores and bought the E6600 but then heard about the new G0 Quad cores so return the Dual core unopened and got that this. Should be worth the extra 50 quid with Alan Wake and Crysis both multi threaded and with water cooling should easily be able to get 3.5Ghz!
nVidia 8800GTX 768Mb - Did toy with the GTS but that extra 30% was just too tempting. This thing is huge, doesn't even fit in my case without pulling out the HD cage!
Asus P5KC Motherboard - CPC recommended, great overclocker and it supports DDR3. No RAID support but who needs that!?
2Gig of Corsair XMS 800 - Another great overclocker and should be fine until DDR3 becomes affordable.
Looking forward to getting this all up an running! I'll post my benchmarks once I finally put it all together.
