Gaming build, need some comments

[veg1992]

Ok I did some modifications based off of your suggestions. I changed the Mobo, and went with one recommended to me by someone who is building a similar PC. If you got input on it, let me know.

I threw the CD drive on there with the 24'' cable. I also changed the GPU to the 8800GTS. (WOOT) Changed ram to vernong's suggestion.

I added the Rosewill RP-550 on there, but I'm wondering if I will have to replace it eventually?

Let me know if you see anything else that could possibly be changed.

its good, but i don't think it can handle an immense overclock or a 9-series, not an expert with PSU's but u might wanna look into that Antec i mentioned earlier:

Newegg.com - Antec True Power Trio TP3-650 ATX12V 650W Power Supply with Three 12V Rails 100 - 240 V UL, CUL, FCC, TUV, CE, C-tick, CCC, CB - Retail

its got decent railing, but if u need a future PSU for mass upgrades, u wanna look into this:

Newegg.com - PC Power & Cooling Silencer 610 EPS12V EPS12V 610W Continuous @ 40°C Power Supply 100 - 240 V UL, cUL, CE, CB, TUV - Retail

that thing is legendary in the world of PSU's and thats an amazing deal... but its still $140... which is somewhat pricey..

Hrm this may sound like a noobish question, but what are you refering to when you mention the 9 series?

I doubt I'm going to do incredible amounts of overclocking right away either.

When we refer to the 9 series, we mean Nvidia's upcoming GeForce 9 series, such as the 9800GTX or GTS.

Ok that's what I thought. I doubt I'll be going that high anytime soon, I'll probably stick with the 8800gts for awile.

then that rosewill is perfect then

quick question on PSU's
i got this PSU
Ultra X-Finity 600-Watt ATX Dual 80mm Fan SATA-Ready SLI Ready Titanium Power Supply ULT31847 at TigerDirect.com
do you think this would work with a 9 series im only gona run one 9 when it comes out

I plan on upgrading the mobo/proc/and ram along with the 9series

 

[b1gapl]

I think it should have enough power.

I think it should have enough power.

alright kool i know there isnt much information out about it but okay lets just hope so

would there be a performance increase if he got a SATA DVD drive?

would there be a performance increase if he got a SATA DVD drive?

Well sata cables are a lot easier to route than eide. But i highly doubt that the drive reads/writes fast enough to outperform the bandwidth of ide.
