Ultimate Gaming Machine. Is all this compatible?

[Kimochi]

Current shopping list:

• SAPPHIRE 100177L Radeon X1950XTX 512MB Graphics Card
• INTEL Core 2 Extreme X6800 Conroe Processor
• Asus P5W DH Deluxe WiFi Motherboard
• Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 - Hard Drive 320GB - SATA 300
• Corsair TwinX 1024Mb DDR2-5400 (2x512Mb) with Heat Spreaders RAM
• Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Music
• Hiper HPU-4M730 750W PSU

Just wondering if this is all compatible. Don't want to go and spend hundreds of £ and find out that there is incompatibility issues!

I am looking for the ultimate gaming machine, and will spend what it takes to get it. So if you guys find any improvements that I might want to consider, give me a shout!

Cheers guys

I tried, it won't let me edit my post again . If you're a mod feel free to close the other post

Thanks a lot!

Probably don't need a 750w PSU. If not doing Crossfire a 500 to 600 will do fine.
Don't forget optical drives. Look at the Lite-on brand.

I have cathodes and lcd screens etc that will need the higher wattage PSU. And as for the optical drives, that's now covered

Why are you only getting 1 GB of RAM? That's going to hold the rest of the system back; you should get 2 GB.

Whoopsie, that was a typo. I am getting 2x 1gb of the same RAM.

In that case, why not get a 2x1GB matched pair? That'll leave a couple of slots open on your board for any future upgrade.

Already bought the new Raidmax Ninja with the sexy vents

Also got some sound-responsive cathodes so whenever I make a shot in CS:S the whole room lights up

That's quite a kick ass rig man. Definetly pwns mine. Ah well. I'm just looking for med-high on most things so good luck with the high settings.

Um even with all the cathodes, lights and other random stuff you can imagine, you dont need more then a quality 500W powersupply. If going anything more to, your going to be doing it for Crossfire. In which case I suggest getting the right psu.

What about the Hiper HPU-4K580-MK Type R 580W Modular ATX2.2 PSU?

[freakitchen]

That's a decent unit, and will power your components just fine.

I actually bought one for my own system - which unfortunately died recently after 12 months. However, it did so without taking any of my components with it (one of the many benefits to buying a quality units). Hiper replaced it under the 3 year warrenty.

If this puts you off Hiper, you might look at overclockers.co.uk 's range of Tagan PSUs.
