..I really don't know what PSU get:

I still need to find a good monitor that would fit my needs, preferably with a 19in screen.

I don't really know how many fans to get in my case or what brand, etc.

I still need to figure out if I should get that 7800GT or wait for it to come down, or get the: some brand 6800GT.aaaaaww i think i'll get the XFX 7800GT


Any suggestions,comments, help would be greatly appreciated!

ok, stick with the X-dreamer II case. and add the exahust fan and move the top fan to the front. whatever happened to the antec truepower 480W power supply? anyways between thouse 3 i would either get the 1 or the 2. do not get the 3 one. you still want to go with XFX, ok. thats your choice.

 

[harobikes333]

why not the 3rd one? just wondering

antec truepower 480W power supply....I looked on newegg and there are 2 that are about the exact same...???

Also do you think I should stick with the ram I have listed...? Some people said I should change it.

So why did you decide to have me stay with the X-dreamer II case? I'm just wondering

I ask too many questions

 

[PZEROFGH]

the case is more on personal perference. so im not sure what you need, case fans, hdd space, optical drives, floppy drives, etc.

the 3rd one only has 15A on each 12 volt line, while the other two i bleive have aounrd 18.

the ram is ok, you said you are not going to be OCing a lot, so that ram is just fine, and if you ever want to OC you can just run the memory divider

you ask too many questions

Thnx for the reply And yup I 100% agree I ask too many questions

I'll stay away from that 3rd PSU, thnx

To be safe for OCing what memory do you suggest?<==Nothing tooo spendy tho

As far as the case goes I think I'll go hunting for a different one for a bit and if I can't find any other one I'll get one of those two that I listed above....

THnx again

you can always just buy faster rated ram. like pc 3500 or something like that.

^^ i would recommend that, i was going to buy it, bu it was out of stock and i couldnt wait

 

[harobikes333]

the DFI motherboard says to use 3200....? On the specs on newegg

so would the higher rated ram work......I'm thinking so...... lol

 

[PZEROFGH]

of course the faster rated ram will work. just make sure you raise the FSB/HTT to whatever your ram speed so you can start the real OCing

 

[harobikes333]

I'm not planning on OCing my processor or graphics card until the warranty is gone....aka 3 years from now and the graphics card I don't plan on OCing since it comes factory OCed some....... so do I really need the better ram..?
