hello all,

how does the new gaming rig i am about to build listed in my signature look. Its purpose is to run Flight Sim X with the highest settings, and great Frames per second. Any feedback or suggestions would be great.

thanks,
ethan
 
That would run that game without a hitch, I believe. Don't get Ultra brand products...lol...especially with PSUs. Get the OCZ 600W, because 800W is too much power for your system. Also get DDR2-800 ram, because it's not that much more money, than DDR2-667.

Heres the PSU, I suggested:

edit: Hey fellow New Yorker....what part you from?...and Welcome to TF!
 
where to begin....get cheap DDR2-800 G.Skill memory as 667 just won't overclock enough and it's more future proof. then 800w's is OVERKILL. You will only need 500 or 550 to be fine. That Mobo is still buggy honestly for the price.
 
alright. im in westchester county. and i think ive switched to TT Toughpower 750-watt PSU, since it is a modular. (somewhat. lol) Also, 800 isnt overkill, cause not only do i need the wattage, but i need the amperage, and 550 usually doesnt give me that. any other recommendations on a MODULAR Psu?
 
wait you mean you cant find an a 550w PSU to run an 8800GTX? Umm a 400w FPS and TT Toughpower have been tested to run an 8800GTX. They usually have 18 amps on the dual rails which is 36. The card requires 30.
 
also, i will NOT be doing any over clocking, because i dont want to mess with such a sensative system. also its my first build :)

54 amps on the 12v rail, 550 watts - Not modular, however

that's my recommendation for modular
 
so if you think 550 watts will be fine, what do u think of the Ultra X2 550 watt power supply modular? it has a cool blue led. hehe
