So Easy to Order the Wrong Thing

[drb46]

Just so I don't order the wrong parts:

Case and Power Supply:
Antec LifeStyle SONATA II Piano Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 450Watt SmartPower 2.0 ATX 12V V2.0 for AMD & Intel systems Power Supply - Retail
http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16811129155

Motherboard:
ASUS P5B Socket T (LGA 775) Intel P965 Express ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail
http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16813131030

Video Card:

http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16814130020

CPU:

http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16819115003

RAM:

http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16820145034

Are these all compatible?

[newbuilder14]

Yes, AWESOME selections. I assume you are waiting for DX10 since you went with a mid-range gaming video card? Make sure that's the memory with the 5-5-5-15 timings for compatibility and stability (yours links are all invalid).

[TimPoet]

Yes, they are.

If this is for gaming then I'd suggest spending $20 more and getting the GT video card. It performs better for such a small price increase.

Newegg's links have quit working for us lately, so just type in evga 7600 gt in the search window.

If you're not doing the hold-me-over thing with the video card like newbuilder mentioned, you might go with the E6300 and a stronger video card for better gaming performance. Otherwise, that's still a good gaming system.

If you copy links from the forum, they won't work. The forum shortens long URL's. Here's where the links are taking you:

Parts get chopped off---------------------^
(hopefully that lines up on your monitor)

Hmmm, that's a new thing. Newegg links used to work on this site, just last week as a matter of fact. I hope they can fix that. Links are positively necessary here.

If you are copying a link from elsewhere in the forum, you have to right click on it and copy - you can't just drag it and copy. It's always been that way, the display truncates after so many characters but the underlying link is complete.

I just noticed that my method of linking to Newegg started working again (a couple hours ago). I haven't changed anything. Maybe Newegg's site is the one that is changing. I have always right clicked and copied, didn't know one could drag and drop a url....

[glc]

By drag and drop I meant drag, Ctrl+C, click, Ctrl+V.

Thanks for the replys, I apologize for the links not working. Maybe this one will:

CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail
http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16820145033

Thats the only one that I could find with that timing, is it correct?

[Jimmy0]

That is correct, it's good stuff. You have a solid list of parts there.

One possible improvement I can see if that you could spend a couple $$ more (if your budget allows) and get the 7600GT instead of the GS.

[newbuilder14]

You really do NOT need memory with such a high frequency - that maximum I would get is this DDR2 800 memory, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820145590

If you aren't overclocking then get this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820145098
