hi guys,
i'm just starting to build my first ever, half decent gaming machine. Just to prove it, i've been with an intel i740, some integrated laptop cards and currently, a 5700le. Shameful.. i know. But i've always been a console boy anyways (obvious). BUT, now i'm building a new pc, based around my (soon to be) 8800 gts.
Anyways, i'm thinking of scoring a P5k. I was considering the SE version (cause it's half the price). Are we still talking about same fundamental board? or is the SE the equivalent of my 5700LE?
Theres another P5k (the base model, with firewire) that's also affordable. Any help would be great.
The other parts (not here yet) are most probably going to be-
-2 gig corsair xms2 (
up between the DHX and dominator <--money) and the 800 vs 1066 versions. Any suggestions?
-intel e4500
-not sure about case, heatsink or power supply.
I've currently got a Proview 22" as well. First real big build... tight on cash.
aren't we always?
Hope you guys can help
