The specs
Posted by PooJee @ 2:35 AM, Tuesday, 29th September 2009
Just thought I’d share the specs of the new system I’m hoping to build soon (assuming the bank sort themselves out!)
AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition 3.2 GHz Socket AM3 8MB Cache
ASUS M4A79T Deluxe 790FX Socket AM3 DDR3 8 channel audio ATX
OCZ 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 1333MHz/PC3-10666 Gold Dual Channel
Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024MB GDDR5
LG GH22NS50 22x SATA DVD&RW Dual Layer & RAM Black Bare Drive
Corsair 1000W HX PSU
Antec 1200 Twelve Hundred Ultimate Gaming Case – Black
Zalman CNPS10X Extreme
 antec_1200 It’s worth noting that the specs are devoid of hard drives, this is because I will be moving my 750GB/1TB hard drives over from my existing PC.
There’s room for improvement though, I opted not to go with a dedicated soundcard as the onboard audio will be sufficient for my needs at this movement in time. I’ve also gone for a good old fashioned DVD drive instead of Bluray. This is due to not owning any Blurays and not seeing that changing anytime soon due to the Bluray movie pricing! Besides a £16 DVD drive will do for now. 
… Also I didn’t want to jack up the price of the PC. Hehe. 
While my credit card woes continue, I have started ordering individual parts via Debit. I currently have the Zalman heatsink and fan, which is bloody huge and I am confident will do the job nicely. I have just ordered the Corsair 1000w power supply too.
