Default New Computer.
Hey guys,
Completly new to pwnboxer but after watching a few videos and Tims Live streams I have offically found my new hobby (In which I was direly searching for... Better then Matchbox houses. =O lol ) Anyway I have offically ordered that last parts of my PC Im makeing. I just want some opinons on how you guys think it will perform for multiboxing. Here is the specs:


Case: Antex Casing with 850 watt PS
Motherboard: Maximus Formula ll
Graphic Cards: GTX 260 core , x2
Sound: Supreme FX Card that comes with mobo.
Ram: 2gb of OCZ DDR2 1200 MHz x4: 8gb Total
Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 Quad-Core Processor, 2.83 GHz, 12M L2 Cache, 1333MHz FSB, LGA775

The only issue Im haveing is the processor. I am and have always been an intel person but Im not sure this processor is gona cut it for me. Any suggestions or thoughts would be great. Everything is ordered or I already have but the processor because there is a Company here that sells them. So Im trying to find something that will fit the LGA 775 socket and still have the power for me to be able to multibox. Also the mobo supports up to 1600 FSB, the current usage of the processor I have been looking at is 1333.
Thanks for all comments to come

your crippling yourself with only 2gigs of ram, let your quad-core free with atleast 4-12 gigs. And pickup a 64bit OS to fully reap the benefits of the multicore processor.

Sorry if i didnt make it clear, Im running 8gb of 1200mhz ram. The cards are 2gb each. I have 4 of them with a fan plate to keep them cool. Also Im going to of course be useing a 64 bit OS. Most likely Vista because xp will eventually be stoping Updates when w7 is released.

I knew the graphics cards and ram would be great. My only concern was the Processor. This is my PC I have been wanting to build for a few years now and I didnt want to skimp on its performance.
