Ok I built the computer. Just want to double check some stuff 1) I connect two power cables to my mb - 24 pin and 4 pin correct? 2) Only 2 wires connect to the HD (WD 320gb)- power and sata cable? (their is another connector their but I think its for legacy power?) 3) I have a antec 300 case...

I guess ill wait

USB? Please explain

Ok so I got my order today but my video card is currently on backorder so it will prolly comes next week. My mb is a asus p5q and I think it doesnt have on board video. I dont have any spare video cards so is it possible to build the computer without it and install the OS? And if so how

Guttzu building a computer is almost a no brainer. As long as you use some common sense + follow instructions you should be ok. Just watch some videos on youtube to get a basic understanding but its really intuitive if you know the general layout of a computer

This is just a general build. Just look for deals on newegg and buy accordingly. Although this build comes out to $1800, you can cut the price down a fair bit by looking on slickdeals and stuff. Anyways this is very high end stuff and should do anything you throw at it. I suggest you buy 1 video...

Here is my build. Comes out to $611 without KB and Mouse. CPU: E7400 - Newegg.com - Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 Wolfdale 2.8GHz 3MB L2 Cache LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor - Processors - Desktops MB: Gigabyte EP43 - Newegg.com - GIGABYTE GA-EP43-DS3LR LGA 775 Intel P43 ATX Intel Motherboard -...

ok thnx. Ill try a 3 ghz overclock and see how that goes. I have received the chip yet so I dont know what stepping it is but I'm gonna guess and say its a B3

Quick question. How much overclock can I do with the q6600 on stock cooling on average. I live in Toronto if that relevant?

imo ... 7. hd4890 8. gtx 275 ...

ahh ok thats good :) And the p5q came with free shipping on the entire order so I saved $50 right off the bat :)

Well I finally ordered my parts and than cancelled it yesterday and reordered to a completely diffrent build :P. Did I do the right thing? My conundrum with $1000 Canadian Dollars: i7 920, gigabyte x58 ud3r, 3 gb ddr3, 640 gb wd, antec 300, bfg 550w, xfx 4850 and using my old 17" flat screen...

I think the taxes has to do with getting parts over customs

Ok thnx. Ill have to see what options I have on the suprise sale

also i have a IDE dvd drive...can I use it to install windows or do I need to get a SATA drive?
