After 9-10 years of upgrades my PC finally died (motherboard is fried). I've been in the market to build my own PC for a few monthsnow so I figure now is the time to get started.
This is the processor I will purchase (newegg.com)
[h1]Intel Core i7 920 Nehalem 2.66GHz 4 x 256KB L2 Cache 8MB L3 Cache LGA 1366 130W Quad-Core Processor[/h1]
Now, I would obviously have to find a compatible motherboard (i7), the one I really like is
SIX.....PCIe x 1 slots.......SIX!
This board would probably be very expensive but I don't see one with these exacts specs anywhere available for sale. I only see some Intels or Asus boardswith just ONE PCIe x 16 slots.....I would like more in case I'd like to add some chips or upgrades (ie eSata card , etc).
I pretty much want a powerful machine to handle anything (media work, music production, gaming, etc).
Any advice isappreciated, I want to get everything purchased asap.
PS: I plan on getting a tower similar to this but not as pricey.
