Go with Conroe?
Hey Guys, I am planning to build my first computer. It will mainly serve as a gaming computer, as well a school tool. The OS will be Windows XP Pro. Here are my core components, second revision:
ASUS P5B Deluxe/WiFi-AP Socket T (LGA 775) E6600 Conroe 2.4GHz 4M shared L2 Cache LGA 775 Processor SAPPHIRE Radeon X1900XT 100149 Video Card Segate Barracuda 7200.10 320GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA (x2) CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 NEC DVD+R 3550A Samsung 204B NeoPower 550W Antec P-180B Case Logitech MX1000 Logitech G15 Do you think that all these pieces will function well together? Here is a list of the games that I would like to play on it: Rise of Nations, Rise of Legends, Civilization 4, Command and Conquer: The First Decade, Command and Conquer 3 (when it comes out), and Star Wars: Empire at War. My price window is $2100 - 2400. Thanks for the help. |

Looks killer. I would go with the Antec Truepower II 550w instead of the Neopower.

The neopower series are of actually very high quality build. Much more so then the Truepowers. They are oemed by seasonic vs truepower's CWT. However the old neopower's did have some reliability issues. Alot were also coming DOA. The new Neopower HE's are said to have fixed that.
However this is the psu I suggest if your not worried about a crossfire setup. Which your not because you have a P5B Deluxe. Enhance 500W ---- Otherwise everything else looks top notch. Good luck.
