New Gaming Build
So now that ive gotten the video card cleared away. I want to double check and make sure all these parts are good.
The main concern is the power supply and the motherboard. I specifically went with this Asus model due to some of the features it has with the pre boot stage (just to be fancy) its a gift to my brother as a first game build of his.

My brother is all about speed with computers |

Raidmax power supplies are no good. Here is the best deal going right now:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817371015 I would put 4gb ram in it, and make sure the ram you choose is on the Asus QVL for that board. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16827106334 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16827106335 |
