First build compatibility check
Hey, just wanted to make sure I had all my stuff in order, I believe this is what I'm getting, could someone just ensure that this will result in a functional (hopefully good) gaming rig?
Barebone: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16856101466 Ram (already purchased) (ack, I bought this when the price dropped by $4 or so, its dropped another $4 since then... one week...) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145525 Hard drive, master IDE (already purchased): http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1055388011277 Optical, slave IDE (purchased): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16827106988 Processor: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819116197 Video Card (already purchased): http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1093468042165 I think thats all of it. I already have extra speakers, monitor, and mouse. Can anyone recommend a good, reasonably priced wireless keyboard or a second hard drive? Thanks for your help. |

Looks nice to me. However, the power supply might be a bit weak, get another opinion on that, though.

I don't think the PSU will have any problem running that system. BUT, I saw a 300GB hard drive on New Egg today for $99. I think it was a Maxtor 300GB Ultra16 ATA. Also, have you checked out the performance of the X700 on Tom's Hardware Guide GPU charts? You might want to compare it to some of the X800 series GPUs and then price them. I think you can get much more bang for a little more buck with an X800. Oh POO! I just noticed that a lot of your stuff was already purchased!

I got the x700 at the after thanksgiving sale for only $100 and the hard drive for $30, so thats why those are from best buy. Its still a decent card right? Especially compared to the mx440 I have now...
I'll definitely look into that hard drive though, thanks. |

The x700 is a fine card. I think you will be very happy with that system.
