Desktop -
CPU: AMD 3000+ Venice Socket 939
MOBO: ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe
RAM: 2x1GB OCZ Gold DDR500
HDD: Western Digital 36GB Raptor 8MB Cache
Video: eVGA 6600GT PCI-E
Optical: Plexor PX-716SA
PSU: Ultra X-Connect 500W - POS!
Monitor: Dell 1907FP UltraSharp LCD
I plan on upgrading soon to:
CPU: Same
MOBO: Same
RAM: Same
HDD: 2x Western Digital 74GB Raptors in RAID0 - I just need to to find a good hardware RAID card thats not insanely expensive. I want to use a hardware RAID card for better performance over a software RAID.
Video: Same
Optical: Same
PSU: PC Power & Cooling Turbo Cool 510W
Then eventually I will finish my watercooling setup and after that I will upgrade the CPU, MOBO, RAM, and eventually the video card.
