newbie help with a new build
I have been reviewing the forums the past few weeks and have decided to start putting together a system. I will be using it for gaming and general needs vidios dvds etc. I have never tried a build before and could use the feedback.
So far I have a coolmaster 832, a psu pcpwer & cool/ silencer 750 quad, an intel e8400. I need to pick a mobo and am not too sure which one to use and if so which one. The feedback shows alot of people having trouble with them or should I go with something else. The hard drive possibly the westen caviar RE2 750 GB 7200 The vidio evega 8800 gt memory gskill 4 gb ddr2 1000. thoughts and feedback wellcome Bryant Last edited by Alaron; 02-02-2008 at 06:39 PM. |

Only thing I would change is the ram. You don't need 4 gb of ram. Just 2 gb of corsair xms2 ddr2-800 is sufficient. Everything shadowpr recommended is good. Make sure you run a 32 bit OS.

listed. Alot of open boxes that have been returned. I've read the reviews where people have problems woth the bios. Is the ws version better etc. Thanks |

Pick ther version that has everything you need.
Highly recommended ones here are the P5K, P5K-e, and P5K-e/wifi. I would also stay away from open boxes for a mother board. Don't know what you're getting into. |
