Hi guys, I'm new to the forum.. I've been looking around all day, reading people advices and other's specs. So I've decided to build a computer myself because I need one for college anyway.
My budget is a little tight, I only want to spend around 800-1000 on it, hopefully, it'll be enough for a nice little computer. I will be using it for a some gaming (WoW), listening to musics, watch movies, and doing school works (hopefully).
So I have been looking around all day, and I think I get a hang of some things, but still need helps. Also, I'm not sure if I got all the stuffs I need. But here are my specs so far:
Case: COOLER MASTER Centurion $44
Motherboard: ECS P965T-A $95
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 $235
Video Card: SAPPHIRE Radeon X850XT $116
Ram: OCZ DDR2 2GB $185
Power Supply: Antect 550W $93
Cooling Devices: Rosewill RCX-Z2 $25
My concerns are the power supply and temperatures.. I want to learn how to do a little bit of overclocking, so I hope the power supply is enough and the temperatures will be ok. I don't want to fry the computer.
Do I need anything else to improve or change anything? Any helps or tips will be appreciates.
EDIT: OK, I realize I need a Hard drive too. Any suggestion? such as the size, speed? Do big hard drives slow the computer down once I put too much stuffs in there? Am I better off with just a small hard drive and use external one if I need more space?
