1st Intel build
After much reading these are the choices I've arrived at, please let me know if it all looks good, I have never used Intel before. I will be ordering next week and I'll be using this as my gaming pc. I already have the optical drives, keyboard, mouse, and lcd, will be migrating them from my current pc. I am also holding on to my Nvidia 7600GT for the time being, I'll upgrade the graphics card when DX10 comes about I'm thinking.
Case http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811146018 PSU http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817189005 CPU http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819115004 MoBo http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131070 Memory http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145566 HDD http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822148140 I plan on overclocking a bit and will be taking the cooler off of my current AMD chip and moving it onto the new Intel rig, I just like the way it looks and it has served me well so far. CPU Cooler http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835106069 Also, I plan on later purchasing another GB of ram - is it best to get 2 1GB sticks from the get-go or do 4 512mb sticks perform as adequately? I just wanted to keep initial cost down a bit, and those 2 GB kits are pricy. All input is welcome, I just need to make sure I'm not missing some glaring incompatibility... Thanks for any info Last edited by croden; 01-07-2007 at 06:34 PM. |

Everything is okay except the Goodpower - that's not one of the better XClios.

Thank you, is this one better?

If your looking at DX10 with your powersupply then im afraid that the minimum i'm comfortable with is this:
Corsair HX 520W$120 or Xclio 600W $100 <--Great Sale If that breaks the bank then you could go with a good placeholder psu: Xclio 450BL $40

Really that much wattage? I'd rather get what I'm going to need now than have to just get another PSU later, I'm probably gonna opt for the X-Clio then. Thanks

The 450bl then, right? The FSP 450w is also not a bad unit.
