Im undecided as to go for the package or build the parts
individually. I think building a cpu cost more than the package.
Anyway,
Package:
Intel Core 2 Duo E6550 2.33 ghz
Asustek P5KR P35/Dual Raid/eSATA/1394/HD
Kingston DDR2-667 2 gb RAM (1 gb x2)
Asus GF 8600GT 256MB PCIE VGA Card
250 GB Seagate SATA 2 HDD
Samsung 20x DVD Writer (DF/DL/+/-)
Cooler Master Centurion 5 Casing
Cooler Master 430W Power Supply
Keyboard
Mouse
If I was to build individually, I may go for
Intel Core 2 Duo E6550 2.33 ghz or Duo E6750
Asus P5k-SE P35/1333/DDR2/eSATA
Kingston RAM
Asus EN8800 GT 256/512 mb DDR3 (512 costs $60 more, I would go for
it)
250 GB Seagate HDD
Cooler Master Centurion 5
Cooler Master 550W Power Supply
Im not sure whether Power supply is worth the money, as I dont know
the difference between a good power supply and an average one. The
difference between the 2 is just $30+ anyway.
Can someone recommend me a good software instead of M. Vista?
Also whats the difference between Core 2 Duo and Quad Core? Does
Quad Core run on 4 processors, consuming more energy?
Is the package good enough? I dont think I need a 20x DVD Writer.
Whats the use compared with 18x and 16x?
I may consider a cheaper VGA card and a more expensive Motherboard,
as the VGA card costs $409, and there are some that costs
$200+.
