Thank you. Your advise is greatly appreciated I felt lost
Is the 520w plenty of power? Is Asus the best board over Gigabyte? Is it more user friendly for a new builder? |

With that Quadro, you could actually get by with only 300 watts. it's not a power hog at all. I figured you would appreciate a modular unit for better cable management.
That particular Asus is a great business system board. CSM means corporate stable model, it will have long-term support. It's also a great value. Your initial choices were actually pretty good - I didn't change all that much. It would have been a great gaming machine. |

So my first choice would by good for my second build for me. I love the games. Thank you I will look into the parts you gave me and keep in touch when I get the parts and start building.
Is there another forum for when I might run into problems with the build? I just hope it is not like when you start improvments on the house running back and fourth to the store.Ha HA Thanks Again |

Do this before installing anything in the case:
PROBLEMS with a NEW BUILD? Try This!! If you have problems, just post here! When you are ready to get parts for a gaming machine, start a new thread! There are some minor changes to your first list that I'd recommend. |
