Vash089 Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 Hey everyone. I am just about finished picking out all the parts for my first build. There is but one part that i have left to choose, and that's the ram. I'm pretty sure i'm going to go with OCZ 2x 512. The thing i don't know is whether to get value. gold series. platnum series. I'd love to just get the value at 2x 512 for $63.00. But i'd don't want to sacrifice performance. Does it matter. Anyway, a little advice would help greatly. Thanks a lot guys. P.S. This is my first post. This forum is amazing. I've reading everything for like 2 weeks now. You couldn't learn that much about computer's if there was a class on it. (just thought i'd through that in there.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenC Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 Do not get value......any brand. The RAM in my signature runs very well with these boards. What PSU are you planning on buying? See my signature for recommended PSU's. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vash089 Posted December 18, 2005 Posted December 18, 2005 the psu is something i have also not decided on. this whole project started out with a broken motherboard. now. a thousand dollars later... lol. But i'm not complaining. i'm finally getting the comp. i've always wanted. i was thinking of just seeing if the psu i already have would work. i dont remember the name. but it is 450w and it was about 60.00 +tax. My best guess is that it won't. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenC Posted December 18, 2005 Posted December 18, 2005 Don't fudge on the PSU......Again, choose one from the "A" list. See my signature for link. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vash089 Posted December 18, 2005 Posted December 18, 2005 I won't. thank you very much for the advice. Judging from the parts in my sig. how many watts will i need. Keep in mind, i will be ocing down the road. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenC Posted December 18, 2005 Posted December 18, 2005 The min we recommend is a version 2.x 480w with at least 26a on the +12v rail. Once again you would do ok by picking one from the "A" list for non-sli. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vash089 Posted December 18, 2005 Posted December 18, 2005 I think i will get the ocz powerstream 520w. The price on the guide says 116.00. But newegg sells it for 150. Where is this product sold at the 116. price tag? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
