Old Rig was.

Intel P4 3.2E GHZ 800MHz 1mb L2 cache PGA 478
Intel D865PERLX motherboard w/snd w/lan
OCZ Titanium Dual Channel PC3200 1meg chips 2325
XFX Nvidia GeForce7600GT 256meg AGP
Soundblaster X-Fi Elite Pro
Western Digital WD2000JD 200Gigs SATA
LG GSA-H10L DVD Burner
Antech True 480 powersupply
Antech aluminum Tower
Such a good built computer and tough girl...


New rig
Dell XPS 730
Intel Quad Core 2 Q9550 (12mb, 2.83GHz, 1333FSB)
Aluminum chassis
4GB Dual Channel DDR3 SDRAM at 1333Mhz
750GB Seagate 7200 SATA 3.0Gb/s 16MB Cache
Nvidia GeForce GTX280 1024megs
Default 16x CD/DVD burner will add my LG to it for dual dvds
Soundblaster X-Fi Xtreme Music, I don't know if its onboard on the nForce mother board? I will swap it with my elite pro if not onboard? Don't know yet...
1000Watts powersupply
....

Well I'm not rich but it rocks for my purposes... I'm going to give my old rig to my 5 year old daughter she can play with it.... Like SH3 hehehe and SPORE she likes making the monsters...

What to do with the new power....:hmm:
You may want to check if the mobo supports SLI. That way if you ever need to add more video power, all you'll need is another vidcard. I've been thinking about adding a 3rd GeForce 8800 GTS 512 and get 3-way SLI going on mine.

Other than that, I think you'll be quite pleased with what you are getting.

What OS are you getting on this rig?
