Hey guys, I'm a n00b building a computer and I decided that before I go buying expensive parts, I should ask on a forum about it. I have a few parts in mind, but I'm not entirely sure about compatibility, so I guess I need someone to tell me; are the parts I've chosen compatible? Have I made good choices? Does anyone have any recommendations..?
I decided to shop on http://www.nintek.com.au, and I have the following in mind:
Asus A8R32-MVP DELUXE
AMD Athlon 64 FX-60
Asus ATI Radeon X1900XTX 512MB PCI-Express Graphics Card
And I don't know anything about RAM, but I was thinking of:
Corsair TwinX 3200 2GB Kit (2x 1024Mb) DDR400 CL3-3-3-8 TWINX2048-3200
I know I need an ATX case (not yet decided, but I guess that doesn't really matter, right?), and PSU. I don't know what kind of PSU to get, either (that is, what type of outputs it has and what its power output should be).
So, basically, I need some nice person(s) to let me know if I'm buying the right stuff, and what kind of PSU to get. I also have no clue about RAM (eg. what do the CL X-X-X-X numbers mean?); so what kind should I get there?
I'm getting this system, by the way, because need a new computer, and I really want a decent one that will last me for a while (and specifically so I can play TES4 Oblivion ).
Thanks very much in advance, and sorry for the annoyingly long post.
