No sound card?

 

[DragonBreath]

What would be a good sound card to get that is not too expensive, but really good?

 

[PZEROFGH]

someone is going to say you dont want to stick with psu that comes with the case, you want to get a brand name one like antec, enermax, or whatever is out there.

 

[Elbatrop1]

Dont worry about the soundcard, as the motherboard has a really good onboard soundcard.

As for the PSU, since the system itself really only needs around 350W (yes, that would be really tight), getting a no-name PSU that is 100W more than required, is fine.

 

[vaderpro]

Well that system above has a better processor and video card than the one i made...and less money spent on PSU and case, if elb says that PSU is ok then trust him. The case i listed is pretty mean for future upgrading and cooling....keep researching dragon, your gettin somewhere...
