Gaming build...
Hi everyone. I'd like to get some input on a potential gamer build--here goes!!
Intel C2D E6300 Processor ASUS P5B Motherboard Corsair XMS2 DDR2 800 (2 x 1GB) eVGA 8800GTS Video Card XCLIO Great Power X14S4P3 550W Power Supply Seagate 7200.10 SATA 3.0 320GB Hard Drive ASUS DRW-1612-CAB DVD Burner/Lightscribe WinXP MCE NZXT Nemesis Case Sound good? I'm assuming this will pretty much run any game without any problems..? |

That setup is good except for two things: get a different power supply - I don't think that will power your system. Look into a 600+ watter, maybe the Corsair HX620. Also, make sure you have a retail DVD burner for a few extra bucks so you get the software.

Swap that psu out for something like this:
Corsair HX 520W

How about the 620w power supply? Not sure how much power that card draws and it seems that more people are going for the 550w+ range nowadays with higher end builds.

That 520w could easily even handle 8800GTX.
620w just overkill. Last edited by Mr.Ferrari; 12-05-2006 at 09:22 PM. |
