Hello, denizens of /g/.
I'm looking into a new computer, and I was wondering if you guys wouldn't mind giving me a little advice? So far I have picked out these core components
Core 2 Duo E6759 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115029
Gigabyte P35 Chipset Motherboard http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128059
Raidmax 500W PSU http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817152029
G. Skill 2GB DDR2 800 RAM http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231098
Are there any over-sights on my part? Is there anything of better value I have not found in my research? On the matter of graphics, I am kind of in between:
8600 GT http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130085
Radeon HD 3850 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814103049
Do you guys think that my previously mentioned components would bottle-neck the Radeon card significantly? I looked into this "PCI-Express 2.0" business, and my motherboard lacks it, so I may just be better off saving my money.
If anyone knows of any deals going on, that could be very super, and any other help is greatly appreciated.
