Current
NZXT apollo case
Some semi-old Core 2 Duo 2.6ghz CPU
8600GTS gfx card
2gb corsair **** ram (i use vista 32 right now which is useless so I pretty much can't get anything extra except a gig)
450watt PSU dunno what
Asus P5N-e SLI or something bad
320GB hdd of something dunno
Planning to Upgrade to
i7 920 (gonna OC)
GTX 260 or 280 or something of the sort
6 or 8 gigs of DDR3 RAM
700 or 750 watt PSU
Rampage II Mobo or something else?
Need to know what good and good priced sound cards for surround sound (5.1, 7.1, etc.)
Basically need links to the best priced of these. Need idea for heatsink definitely not using stock on the 920. What RAM 6 or 8 GB and good speed? Link for a good PSU. Is Rampage II the best priced i7 mobo (think this thing has onboard audio that is good) or is there a better X58 mobo?
Anything else I'm missing/might need?
WILL upgrade to Windows 7 already dualbooting that thing on my current PC. Will have all of this by the time Windows 7 releases so its ready for it. Plan on getting 1080p monitor. Current is 22" Omnivision (now Viewsonic) 1680x1050. Need good priced and high rated one of those.
