Sharp Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 Hello, Better power supplies, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16817104934 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16817189001 Both memory choices are good but the Crucial 2xGB kit will overclock a bit more and you can use lower timings. The hard drive, I would get 2xsomething or even 3xsomething. # Use 1 for storage / the page file # use the rest for a RAID array or whatever you like. Just an idea.

jlin12345us Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 thank for reply guys. i change the power supplies to FSP Group AX500-A ATX12V 500W. Since i am beginner which memory is better for me. G.SKILL Extreme Series 2GB (2 x 1GB) or Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2 x 1GB) the both get 3-4-4-8, but OCZ 2GB (2 x 1GB) Dual Channel Platinum System Memory get 2-3-2-5 is that better?

catkicker Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 I' am beinnger in build PC. but like to learn and please give some advice. I to was a relative beginner when I built my first DFI rig Nf3 UT 250GB I read all the stickies and read the problems people were having and I also downloaded the manual from DFI site before I purchased the board. I had no problems. Did the same thing when I built my NF4 SLI DR rig and had no real problems, went just fine. Go for it, just make sure you do your reasearch and pick your componets wisely.

Sharp Posted October 14, 2005 Posted October 14, 2005 Look again at the memory specifcation. # The G.gkill and Crucial are rated PC4000 (capable of 250Mhz) # The OCZ is rated PC3200 (capable of 200Mhz) A 2xGB kit rated at PC4000 is much better, gives you room for overclocking the CPU if you wish to later on. The Crucial 2x1GB kit will run at 3-3-3-8@250Mhz so it is better than the G.skill one. Not sure what overclocking or PC4000 is?

Xolias Posted October 14, 2005 Posted October 14, 2005 thank for reply guys. i change the power supplies to FSP Group AX500-A ATX12V 500W. Since i am beginner which memory is better for me.

If you aren't planning on overclocking the OCZ 2GB is fine but if you want to overclock go with the Crucial. If you don't plan on over clocking, I'm selling some month old OCZ 2x1GB Platinum RAM for pretty cheap. Give me a PM if you're interested.
