The Official PC building thread!

518 in the morning lol.

 

5;20 am here your 5 hours ahead in the UK

yes that mobo will work with the 3800x2

 

Yeah it early alright lol but this will work wit the 3800x2 and asus A8N-SLI right? Like a nice combo? and stuff? Im talking the graphix card. 7600.

 

yes it will work fine thats probably your best choice the 7600GT

If you must have nvidia then why not, and to be fair, in the US, the 7600GT is the better buy. for some reason the X1800GTO is a lot more expensive compared to other cards in the US than the UK. Over here, the X1800GTO's about £120 and the 7600GT's about £130. At newegg, the X1800GTO is $190 and the 7600GT is $130 post-rebate.

 

Ok so for ram?

 

CORSAIR XMS 2GB 3200

well, 2GB may be a bit much. I ran out of RAM in FEAR when I had 1GB, so 2 wouldn't be too bad, but obviously its a lot of cost if you won't use it much.

I just run Corsair Value, but XMS Stuff is the knackers!

 

i would def. go 2 gig if you can swing it

sam and i nailed the ram lol

 

Hehehe yeah, there really is no substitute for Corsair, it's not expensive, it's reliable and performs well.

 

I'll prob. go with 2g cause I own fear and want to run it. So the last things to cover are powersuply and case right?

So for case?

And powersuply what should I get?

 

the Antec-True power 550watt

cases iam not up on mine was 200 bucks lol!!

I like green. And its cheap.

So that should keep it cool?

The antec do I need the one with 2 fans?

Almsot forgot hard drives and cdroms/dvd burners and all that.

 

the Westeren Digital Raptor 150 GB Sata are excellent HD 16mb cache. they have an 74 gig that less expensive its 8mb cache

drives i would go with the Plextors(there pricey) if you can't swing that next in line would be Lite-ON or the BenQs drives are good

Yes get the one with two fans

 

What about my case? Will that get proper air flow?
