Will This Build Work?
I think I've found a VERY affordable computer that's also VERY good in performance. However, I'm not completely sure if all of this stuff will go together, or if I need anything else. Here's the parts:
Case -APEVIA X-Plorer ATXB8KLW-BK Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Retail Motherboard - BIOSTAR NF520-A2 Socket AM2 NVIDIA nForce 520 MCP ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail Processor - AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ Windsor 3.0GHz Socket AM2 Processor Model ADX6000CZBOX - Retail Hard Drive - Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3500630AS 500GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM RAM - CORSAIR XMS2 4GB (4 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model TWIN2X2048-6400C4 - Retail Power Supply - Broadway Com Corp Okia-black-650 ATX 650W Power Supply - Retail Graphics Card - Leadtek WinFast PX8800 ULTRA 768MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Video Card - Retail Sound Card - Creative 70SB046A00000 7.1 Channels PCI Interface Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Professional Series - Retail DVD/CD Drives - LITE-ON Combo Black IDE Model LH-52C1P-187 - Retail This would be a great help if you could tell me if these parts would work together. Thanks. |

First, you need to take a look at this link for QUALITY PSU's... nothing will kill your system quicker than a bad PSU and I have never heard of that brand and is not on any of those lists, Good or Bad.
What Power Supply should I get? How many Watts? Who made it? Guide Inside And could you post some links to the things you want like the motherboard and graphics card please? Also, go SATA instead of IDE on the DVD/CD drives

Yep... I agree with kmillerusaf.
You need a QUALITY PSU. Here is one I would suggest: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817139001 You are investing a lot into the system. Don't ruin it by trying to cut cost with the PSU. The BIOSTAR motherboard is okay. I would recommend you look at ASUS instead. Samething here... if you want a good system... you need QUALITY parts. As for video cards... look at EVGA, XFX, or BFG for the 8000 series GeForce cards. And you will need to go with a 64-bit version of Windows if you want to utilize the full 4GB amount you are planning to install. The 32-bit versions only utilize about 3GB. |

If you want AMD, great.
I've just got to let you know C2D is much better performance/price.

Go with the 5600+. The 6000+ has an odd multiplier and the ram will not run at full speed. Plus you save a few bucks.
