Hey forum. I recently decided it was time for a new computer, but I'm relatively new to this, so I'm looking for some help. I put together a list of what I think I want, but I'm not sure about the compatability. This is what I have so far;
Motherboard-Asus sabertooth X58
CPU-Intel Core i7-950, 3.06 GHz, 8mb cache
Memory-Compatability on this confuses me a bit. Advice would be greatly appreciated.
Video Card-Galaxy GeForce GT220
Sound card-Asus xonar DG 5.1
Hard drive-Seagate ST32000542AS Barracuda LP hard drive (2tb)
Case-Xion AXP100 atx mid.
Power supply-Something else I need help with. I hear the AXP100 has problem with the stock power supply so I want to upgrade it right away. Problem is, I have no idea what specs to be looking for.
CPU cooler-Noctua NH-D14
DVD burner-Samsung SH-B123L Blu Ray Combo Drive
Since this is all new to me, I don't know if these are good products or not. That's why I'm asking here. Is there anything you would change? I have a budget of around 1300-1400$ for just the computer(I already have the monitor, keyboard, mouse, sound system). Thanks in advance!
