New idea for build.
I got some advice in these forums about a new build in the thread linked to below, and have since talked to some other people about possibly doing and AMD build that would give me more upgradeability, overclockability, etc.
http://forum.pcmech.com/showthread.php?t=161437 COOLER MASTER Centurion 5 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811119068 ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131517 AMD Athlon 64 3700+ http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819103539 CORSAIR XMS 2GB (2 x 1GB) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145574 XFX Geforce 7600GT http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814150141 Antec TruePower 2.0 550W http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817103932 I have hard drives and optical drives. Thoughts? |

Someone correct if I'm wrong but since this PSU you pointed out is an EPS12V, isn't that a PSU for servers and not compatible with standard ATX (according to Antec's site)? But the thing is, is that there are many reviews for this PSU from people who don't seem to have a server. Can someone clarify?

EPS simply means it has the 8 pin EPS connector in addition to the others that you need. However, the non-EPS model of that same unit is 10 bucks less.

Antec product discription says that it is ATX12v 2.01 and the connector set up is for "universal motherboard compatibility"

Might want to look at a eVGA card instead of an XFX. You also don't need XMS memory, if Value Select is cheaper, its plenty good.

Is this card essentially the same as the XFX one posted above, and why would you suggest making the change?
