Well, you can go down to the Q9550 instead of the Q9650 and save $80. The only difference is speed (and a mild overclock will negate that).
If you REALLY want the Raptor, go for it. Many will still tell you there are better values out there. Since you have a 1Tb, the Black WD I linked will give 85% of the performance of the Raptor, while costing 33% of the price.
Saving the money in these two items alone is nearly $180US. That can bump your GTX260 to a GTX285 easily.
Not that LGA775 is bad, but it is a dying technology. Intel's future is the Core i-series. |
