I really want to do a high end rig from like 5 years ago (For my sister), however I have only been into PCs since the 7970 was released LOL.
Draft part list:
QX6700 (Unless there is a better CPU for the ~$100 eBay price in the U.S.)
Asus Rampage Formula X48 (Im pretty set on this)
4x2GB Corsair Dominator DDR2-1066
I would quite like if I could get my hands on a Matrix 5870 or Ares 5870, but Im not set on any GPU.
I'm gonna need some badass CPU cooler for ~$50, if I could push about 3.0-3.5Ghz I would be happy.
Any blatant compatibility issues? I would like to use Windows 7, however all this stuff made before W7 was released, so compatibility sounds sketchy.
I'm pretty set on doing a rig with old parts from eBay, it seems like I could get more performance out of these things than something of equal price with modern parts.
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR FILL ME WITH KNOWLEDGE, OH ANCIENT ONES.
P.S. if anyone has some old RAM, CPUs, GPUs, etc. from this time period that work I would be willing to take them off your hands for the right price.
