Still don't have a hard drive, optic drive, or fans (other then the ones that come with the case and the cpu.)

I wanna use this computer to play games (personal use) and use autoCAD and Photoshop (for work).

What do you think? Is it a good set up?

I am wondering if you guys think I need to get a new psu? Also I am concerned about cooling. Should I get more fans? if so what kind?

Thanks you guys rock!

Great CPU and good value select RAM. The power supply that comes with the case is onre that I would be highly suspicious of because I have heard too many bad thing about Aspire power supplies. I would invest in a decent case and purchase the power supply separately such as an Enermax or Antec. I don't know enough about the motherboard.

how many watts should I go with?

 

[infiltrator7]

500 or so. i've only got a 450w and seem to be ok so far.

 

[andy43]

right on, thanks

What about fans? do you think I need more fans?

NICE SETUP DUDE!
definatly would change the PSU though
i found that they usally put a pretty crappy PSU with a case even the nice ones.
try out the antec sli 550wt

Really good that is similar to the one i want to upgrade to. I have a socket A rig right now but i am getting a 939 rig soon and it is going to be like yours except i always go with nvidia for video cards

That many fans is fine. I, personally might get one more 80mm fan, though, just for good measure.

You will likely be fine with that PSU. I've used both Generic-with-case PSUs and the fancier nice ones. I like the one I have now due to it's modular design (You only plug in the cables that you need). But, like I say that PSU should be fine.

I just picked up a hard drive fan, should I put it in or no?
