Answer #1
Yes looks good to me, very similar to my setup.
Only thing i’d say to you is if you were going to add another graphics card in the future you might want to ramp up your power supply to 500w, but other than that nice
Answer #2
Ok thanks for your reply
Answer #3
looks pretty sweet to me..
Answer #4
Yeh its a good setup for gaming, suggest you get a bigger power supply maybe, like 500W – 600W and make sure it’s a good brand. Also Make sure you get enough fans to keep the pc cool.
Answer #5
NICE!!
Answer #6
If your looking to OC that cpu look on a good cpu cooler as well. But other than that thats a nice rig. Yeah Get a better PSU the ones that usually come with the case are trash. Trust me it isn’t wise to skimp on the Power Supply.
Answer #7
Its pre built right?
If your building it yourself,then maybe change the motherboard to a gigabyte p35 ds3 or something and get 800mhz ram and a better power supply like Corsair 550watt….
Answer #8
I was told this motherboard is the best currently out, and it doesnt contain any lead like the other trash ones do. (lead melts after awhile), as for the ram and the power supply i am happy with it because i am getting a IT professional from my dads corporation to build it, i had a few different parts but he changed some around. he also plays games and he apparently is nearly a genius (very very very high IQ). SO WHAT HE PICKS, I AM HAPPY.
Answer #9

only jokin, just jealous now though

I was looking into purchasing Microsoft XP Pro until i got advised that Microsoft have released a lot more updates for Home since Vista was released and Home and XP are nearly identical.

A friend was testing Beta Vista and he LOVED it. When all was said and done he said the Vista that was the final retail release had major problems and was completely different from the Beta. He’s a pc whiz and he’s gone back to XP. Other tech forums I frequent some people have problems and some don’t-even the tech guys.
Whatever your choice good luck…love your new system
