Hex the Apevia power supply unit and the ECS motherboard. Go with a more reliable quality brand.

Go with the HDD instead:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822148288 Here are some motherboard suggestions: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131249 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131324 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131281 Power supply suggestion: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817139003 Or you can go with this one below... its less expensive and should power your current setup fine... but it does NOT leave much room for addons down the road: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817371005 Last edited by minsonngo; 10-18-2008 at 10:00 PM. |

What is your actual budget?
Do you have an operating system, or will you have to buy that with the budget as well?

That optical drive looks fine.
If you pay a little more... you can get a retail boxed one that includes dvd playing and writing software. |
