Need suggestions of building pc is recommended

I believe the Tuniq does come with thermal paste, but it isn't very good.

You can replace the thermal paste on the GTX, if you want. Just make sure you know what you're doing, if you plan on taking it apart, to apply thermal paste. I think it's good enough to hold off, on it's own.

From the parts, you're selling, I'd say at least $200-300 range.

I would suggest buying aftermarket Paste for the tuniq yes. You can also take off the original paste off the GPU and put better stuff on, but it will only lose you 5-10degrees. It will help with OCing, but its not Vital.

yeh, loooking at that card, ill leave it alone.
I do have as5, so ill just use that.

Well i might find out today if i can do this.
Otherwise ill have to wait till my student loan money comes in.
If i cant do full build right now, i might just buy the case,psu,and gfx card, dvd burner, and maybe the hard drive.
And then wait for my money and get the quad,ram,etc.

Thanks for all your help...really appreciate it.

When do you plan on doing your build?

I just saw this picture of a P180, with the fitting of a GTX:

It looks very tight. You might have to remove that middle hard drive cage.

When do you plan on doing your build?

I plan on completing my quad core upgrade in two weeks.

 

[krazyq]

ill have only one hard drive in it anyway?
where else can i fit a hard drive?

Behind the psu and fan?

 

[b1gapl]

You can put the hard drive, in the bottom right hand corner.

 

[krazyq]

thats what i was thinking.
COol, thanks for looking out!
I guess i wont be able to add the fourth fan then.

Another question...where can i find an xbox 360 controller that will work on pc. Or any good game controller. Im looking for one to play madden.

 

[b1gapl]

This, perhaps?
Newegg.com - Logitech 963326-0403 Cordless RumblePad 2 USB - Retail
or
Newegg.com - Saitek J62 P2500 Rumble Force Pad - Retail

 

[krazyq]

nah, ill pass for now.
Im looking if i can get the wireless xbox 360 for pc, if not...i might just get the wired one...but later. Im trying to get the important things now.

Or you can do what I did to my xbox controller. I cut off the ends of the controller and a USB cable, and tied the USB wires together with the USB ends, coming off the controller. Takes a little time, but hey....I did it for free.

If you don't want to, I found this:
CompUSA.com - Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Controller for Windows - JR9-00001 - Gaming » PC Games » Joysticks, Gaming Controllers

Cheaper here:
Amazon.com: Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Controller for Windows: Video Games
