Thank you for acknowledging my research. There have literally been sleepless nights I've spent reading about each part.
Trust me though, I know about how wonderful the black box 5000+ is. I originally was going to pick it up for $92 and some change (shipping included) and while the default 5400+ isn't much of an "upgrade" per se, it runs faster at stock, and that's really all I need. As long as I see people running Crysis with two gigs of worse ram than I chose, the same graphics card, and X2 3800+ processors, I'm positive, for my purposes, that the 5400+ will deliver more than exceptional performance for me, at least until I decide to find an AMD quad that I'm interested in
You did, however, provide great details about graphics cards/ power supplies to me, and for that, thank you very much. It makes me feel much more secure knowing that I should be fine. For me personally, I wouldn't trust Coolmax with those cards, but I'm glad you did, and even happier to hear you had good experiences for the most part.
I feel really solid about this build. Can't wait to throw the parts together. Thanks ricanflow and nagasama. The parts are already ordered now, but I don't feel I'm missing out by not getting a 5000+ black box. I'm stoked about the 5400+ at stock. Getting an extra 200mhz out of it, even with increasing the voltage is just fine by me.
Because of the great help and suggestions I've received here, I'm making this my new e-home for computers instead of PCMech.com. I have my own site as well, dedicated to the Sony PSP. It's PSPBrew.com, if anyone is interested. I'm not trying to advertise, just be helpful if anyone is looking to run homebrew on their PSP. Great community of helpful people, much like this site. Knowledge is power.
