red930 Posted January 16, 2006 Posted January 16, 2006 Welcome to the forum! First off, these boards are excellent in all respects as far as I'm concerned, though if you don't treat them right they can be a real pain. First off, personally I wouldn't put 3 sticks of anything in any board. Stick with 2 or 4. It should work fine with two sticks of pc3200 until you can upgrade. When you first get her booted up manually set your timings and voltages in the bios-it could make things a lot easier later on. Your PSU will probably work fine, but if you do a lot of hardcore overclocking and have a 7800 or two in there you'll probably want to get something a little more reliable. There's a sticky in the recommended section for good PSU's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't go wrong with the OCZ, its very solid. Personally if you play games a lot you should probably get a 2x1GB kit, you can get pc4000 from newegg for around $200, thats what I use. Works great for me. If you really don't intend to oc theres probably some good pc3200 out there, but I doubt its much cheaper. You can probably get by leaving everything on auto, it really should work. However if you have issues booting up right off the bat it probably set something wrong and you'll have to manually set it. If you just want a solid computer and doin't game much, just use two sticks of the corsair you have for now, it should suffice.

BF2 everynight. that all i use my pc for is gaming and burning cds. so your saying just leave everything on on auto? on my system now i just leave every thing on default and it runs like a champ but with newer games coming out i think i should uprade. i did read Angry_Games NF4 LanParty - initial build w/pictures thread should i boot up the first time like that and after its running fine then add the rest of the ram soundcard etc. ?
