Hey guys, I'm a first time PC builder here and I'm trying to put together a high-performance gaming rig. I followed an online guide to get a general feel for what's compatible with what, but before I make any purchases, I'd really like someone more experienced to check my work and offer any input. Here's the stuff I plan on ordering from newegg:
1. CASING: RAIDMAX SMILODON Extreme Black ATX-612WEBP 1.0mm SECC Steel ATX Mid Tower Foldout MB Computer Case With 500W Power
2. VIDEO: BFG Tech BFGE98512GTXOCE GeForce 9800 GTX 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card
3. PCU: Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Wolfdale 3.0GHz 6MB L2 Cache LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor
4. MOBO: ASUS Maximus II Formula LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard
5. RAM (x2): Crucial Ballistix 2GB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Desktop Memory
So ... would this be a good setup? And, more importantly, will it all work?
One of my main concerns is the wattage - the tower comes with several built in fans and a 500W power source. Will this support the hardware?
Anyway, any help anyone could give me would be really, really great. Thanks.
