Guys, after countless thoughts....I am using the sata 80 gb hdd that I haven't used in a long time and I am using one of my dvd burners for this computer for the new computer I am getting so, and the best thing....I am getting a 512mb 8800gt and 650 wat psu :) (going with either a cool master...

PCI-e 2.0 is backwards compatible with PCI-e x16 so if you have that slot, your ready for the that 8800gt

No because it seems that with my budget I can get more power with amd and anyway I kinda am set with getting an amd cpu, don't feel like looking for another affordable board. Edit: Already bought the ram, cpu, case, and mobo. I was recommended a higher watt psu, atleast 600 watt, can anyone...

Nope, I wouldn't bother to try to oc yet, this is my first build which I will be working on with a friend so ocing is way too much for me right now lol. Plus I think i would need more cooling for that wouldn't I...

Would I be able to find a stick 2gb of ballistics ram with the same latency and is ddr2 800 so that i don't hinder my computer? Edit: NVM!! MY WONDERFUL DEAL IS BACK. I have changed my wishlist, check the combo deal on the 5600 and the 4gb of a-data ram. With the discount I should be able to...

Posted about which os to get, then which video card....and now ram....I found out that each motherboard has certified ram....and I was wondering if it matters if I bought ram that is not on the list of certified ram for the motherboard. And I was wondering if I should go with a athlon 64 x2...

one word....sweet!!....getting a 8800gt 256 mb or 512 mb card. Thanks

But it seems they only come for the pcie 2.0 slots, you could check my wish list but I don't think my motherboard will have that slot :\ https://secure.newegg.com/NewVersion/Wishlist/PublicWishDetail.asp?WishListNumber=7728468&WishListTitle=new+plan+for+av8706

I was wondering whether I should go with an ati x1950 pro 256 or 512 mb card or xfx's nvida 7950gt 512 mb card. I am planning to eventually get a 8800gts 320 mb card and if it matters I am getting an sli supported motherboard for the computer I am building so if I wanted to I could eventually...

The reason why I am thinking of getting vista is to eliminate the problem with the ram unless you guys think that there shouldn't be much of a problem. I read that the reason why vista wouldn't do that is because it takes advantage of all of the memory that is available to the system so that...

Ok I have finally decided to purchase parts in order to build my own computer. I am going with the 4 gigs of ram from a-data since newegg has such a good deal on the ram :D. Now the the reason I am asking whether I should go with xp home eddition or vista home 64-bit edition for an operating...

ok, for boot set up, I don't know how to do it, can't find in the bios set up unless it's the ide configuration, which I already tried out. It's an asus p5p800 se motherboard. Well on slave jumper settings first off in the bios it says it's 33 gb but it should be 200 gb (on my last computer...

Ok my friend traded me his better computer for mine and I want install my additional hard drive that I took out from my old computer (it has data on it that I need). I tried to install it by changing the jumper switch to slave but that wouldn't allow os to be loaded from the primary drive...
