New Computer...this time for real =D

[ThefT]

Hello, I know this is like the 5th time I have done this, but I finally got a job and money. So here is my idea.

Case + PSU

Motherboard

Processor (Waiting for the E7200 to come out in May)

Ram

Hard Drive

DVD Burner

Vid Card = Already have a 7800GTX

Any thoughts on this? This will be used for BF2, COD4, WoW and other games....how should this thing run those?

everythings good i think..Only thing i would change is teh case..not to my preferences..I would get a collermaster 690...Also you need an OS

Yup, that is not really a nice case. A Coolermaster CM690 would be nice.

Alright...OS I got covered....what about an nice cheap PSU now?

You never should go cheap on a PSU.

Good brand and has charging plugs on the back for things like digital cameras, mp3 players etc...

Damn...this price is shooting up, lol.

I know I shouldnt go cheap on a psu...but 130?

Is not a lot to pay honestly. The PSU is the most important part as if it breaks, so can everything else.

Nothing worse than a dodgy PSU taking out your whole computer.
Had no problems with my Hiper 580W

I think this will be ok if youre on a tight budget...

I've got that PSU, but in the 600W version. Works great, and after replacing the stock 300W single 80mm fan with it, my computer has cooled down considerably

agreed with tomeis, that OCZ 600W was my choice until then the techies changed it to a 620w Corsair on the count of my gtx, but yet again that OCZ is quite good theft and it should most definitely handle ur rig.

NOOOO!!! That's one of the worts things you can do.
You definitely should be investing into a good PSU, otherwise you risk damaging all your other hardware.

Something from someone like OCZ, Corsair, etc is definitely what you want although it may cost you more.

http://www.amazon.com/OCZ-Technology...376723&sr=8-19 (pretty good offer after rebate)

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817341012 (cheaper than amazon 500W OCZ)

All u gotta do know is check for their compatibility with ur rig, in that area i don't know for sh!t.

Alright....while im at it should I get the antec 900?
