New Build - Need Suggestions

[TraceTheory]

OLD ONE - Newegg.com - Once You Know, You Newegg

new: Newegg.com - Once You Know, You Newegg

That's my build as of now...

First off I've gone it a few times I don't think I'm missing anything/anything is not compatible... would someone mind double checking that?

Also, anyone see anything that could be improved or changed?

change the mobo to a p45 and change the gfx card to a 4850 or a 4870.

After you change the mobo to a P45 chipset, get DDR2 800 or 1066 RAM. Everything else looks decent, and I agree that getting the HD 4850 is the best choice. It vastly outperforms your chosen card and usually for under $180.

I would also get G.Skill or Mushkin memory instead of OCZ memory.. From personal experience and that of others I know, G.Skill and Mushkin are a LOT more reliable and tolerant than OCZ..

Alright updated the build...

The only G.Skill (Which i love as well, using some right now) was like $200 :\

CORSAIR 750w TX Series 80 Plus Certified Power Supply - CMPSU-750TX - Buy.com

also i would get a e8500 or q9550:
Newegg.com - Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 Wolfdale 3.16GHz 6MB L2 Cache LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor - Processors - Desktops
Newegg.com - Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 Yorkfield 2.83GHz 12MB L2 Cache LGA 775 95W Quad-Core Processor - Processors - Desktops

Changed the processor was talking to friend about that same thing as you posted that...

And that mobo/PSU are not CrossFire compatible :\

 

[norcrawler]

ya that setup looks good.
but on newegg u can get a acer 22'' wide for like 179 shipped.
and probly better than that asus

 

[stalin90]

And that mobo/PSU are not CrossFire compatible :\

yes they are. it doesnt matter if a psu is crossfire compatible, all that means on a psu they slap a sticker on it and make u pay more, and i know for a fact that mobo can crossfire.

Oh :\

And alright did not think so because it did not say it and a lot of them do. Changed the mobo.


edit: not sure if want this board, i was reading the reviews and ports get blocked when you use a long card (mine)
Any other mobos you suggest? Because I want to have access to all my ports.. and I also read it had issues with OCing memory
