glc said, " You need ram in matched pairs so it will run in dual channel mode. " is this true so i cant just buy 1g of ram i have to buy 2 512mb?:eek: if hes right im glad he told me i was going to buy 1g and find out that it didnt work :( .

does newegg charge taxes cause it didnt say any thing if so what %?
does that power supply have all the cables i need?

[glc]

It will work with a single module but at reduced performance. Newegg charges tax only when the order is going to CA, TN, or NJ. You should not need any additional cables.

Why did you start a new thread?

[derekclark1122]

i didnt know that it mattered if i started a new thread sorry. thanks for the help so ill get 2 512 then does every thing look compatible with this comp :)

[derekclark1122]

is there any issues with the ram? or power supply any thing else if so plz tell me do i need any thing else and can some one recommend a dvd burner for me or is that one fine. whats the difference between these two cases they look the same, but one has a power supply the one with the power supply is acctualy cheaper does any one know y?

Sunbeam Transformer IC-TR-B Blue Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case - Retail = $84.99

Sunbeam Transformer IC-TR-US-BL Blue Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case 450W Power Supply - Retail = $82.99

one opens a different way dont think theres any thing else different?
:confused:

[flanzig1]

The first case has a lot more flash to it which could account the extra cost. As for the second case w/PSU, the PSU is probably not suitable for your build.
For a DVD drive, go for the Lite-On retail version, good drive w/software.

[derekclark1122]

thanks does every thing look compatible? to me it does, but im not a pro at any of this so some advice would help alot, because i plan to buy it soon.

[glc]

I'm a bit confused - exactly which case and power supply are you getting?

You do need a retail boxed DVD burner to get software.

[derekclark1122]

thank for allways responding glc :D i guess ill get the
Sunbeam Transformer IC-TR-B Blue Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case - Retail = $84.99
and for the dvd burner i dont know didnt know u couldnt get a 0me modle. so if u could suggest one that would be great. does every thing look good else then the dvd burner? is every thing compatible

[glc]

What power supply are you getting? That case doesn't come with one.

DVD burner: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16827106043

[derekclark1122]

thanks
the Sunbeam PSU-BKS580-US ATX 580W Power Supply 100V - 120V/200 - 240V cUl, CE, CB, FCC - Retail does it have every thing i need to power this comp?

[glc]

No. It's not ATX 2.0. The only good Sunbeams are the NUUO series. There's not a 580w quality PSU in existence for 24 bucks.

[derekclark1122]

Sunbeam NUUO SUNNU550-US-SV ATX12V/ EPS12V 550W Power Supply 100-120V CE, UL (CUL), TUV, CB, FCC, FIMKO, SEMKO, DEMKO, NEMKO - Retail = $64.99 + free S&H = $65
so this will work fine withl my comp? will all parts be compatible?

[glc]

That's a good one.

[derekclark1122]

so then if i bought it to day, all those parts would be fine alone to make a comp i dont need any thing else:confused:

[derekclark1122]

thanks so much for the help

[derekclark1122]

is every thing compatible with this comp do i need any thing else any one have some advice?

[derekclark1122]

does any one know if all this parts are compatible?

[derekclark1122]

hey glc or any one whats the difference between 18x and 16x every thing else for dvd burners? should i get warrantys on any thing? because im short on cash.

Yes, everything looks fine. But if you're not going to overclock you should get DDR2 667 RAM instead of the DDR2 800.

And please use the Edit button to add comments to a previous post instead of making new posts...and you also need to be more patient, this is not a chat room...it's a bulletin board and you just have to wait for someone to come along to answer your questions.

[derekclark1122]

lol ya sorry iev just been realy bored i havent had a comp in 4 months im on my bros he hardly lets me on it thanks

[flanzig1]

Didn't see an OS listed with your parts list. XP Home OEM $89.99:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16832116169

[derekclark1122]

:D thanks. i have xp for it already so its good to go then i can order this comp? :D :) :D

[newbuilder14]

Yes, but get dual channel memory (2x512mb in your case) and make sure you get software with your DVD burner. Also, are you sure you can't swing for a 19" LCD? They are the sweet spot right now (in my opinion), especially widescreen.

[derekclark1122]

final build sorry i didnt post this one i had it done a while ago so this one works better then cause its 19 inch and its 2x512mb

[derekclark1122]

thanks for the help every one, but im still a little concerned about that graphics card the his x1950 I was planning on geting seems to have alot of problems with it and I would be happy and open to some suggestions. what would be a better choice a eVGA 512-P2-N637-AR GeForce 7950GT 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP KO Superclocked Video Card - Retail or a POWERCOLOR X1950PROXTR512M Radeon X1950PRO 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 VIVO Video Card - Retail i would rather get the his it has a higher core clock speed and memory speed, but it seems like theres just to many issues there has any one bought a his x1950 does it work fine?

[newbuilder14]

7950gt will be faster, but the X1950Pro might produce better image quality.

The X1950Pro has been having some serious problems - just ask Freakitchen. So in this case, I'd definitely go with the 7950gt for sure.

[flanzig1]

Some of the problems with the HIS x1950 could be due to the factory OC right from the start. Don't think a few extra Hz is going to make a whole lot of difference. The Powercolor would be the next option.

ya i have talked to him, but the 7950gt isnt faster is it are u sure? but it sounds like a safer chose because it sounds like all x1950's might have problems so the power cool or the eVGA? the eVGA seems to have over heating problems beacuse of such a small fan and heat sink and one else hear that?

[newbuilder14]

The 7950gt is a faster card than the X1950Pro. Google benchmarks for your specific games.

[derekclark1122]

k thanks for the help on choseing :D it also seems to have no issues. i was wrong about it over heating it doesnt seem to from reading alot of reviews the powercolor seems to have alot of problems to so ill go with the eVGA thanks for the help i think im ready to order im probly not going to day just incase i change my mind on something well thanks for all the help every one :D also is there much of a point buying such a good card when dx10 will be coming out soon?

[glc]

Go look at your other threads, I just said something in one of them.
