oleander66 Posted May 7, 2006 Posted May 7, 2006 Okay.. I've changed my mind about 10 times so far. Now, before I buy. Tell me if this is a good rig or not. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16814130015 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16819103539 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16813136152 Sadly, they took down the 3700/ultra-d combo. But the 8 hour video card sale looks good. So, I'm probably gunna order the card anyway before the time runs out. Unless someone tells me otherwise within like 20 minutes. These pieces would go with the rest of my current rig in my sig, but I need a new PSU. What PSU should I get? I won't be using SLI or OCing for a while, not until this rig is outdated and I need some more ummph. Does this look good? I just wanted a budget pc, but I keep end up wanting to spend more. : Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiveTurkey Posted May 7, 2006 Posted May 7, 2006 Good deal on the gfx card. Solid processor if you don't want to go dual core. A 3800+ X2 will cost you about $60 more. And you won't find a better MB, assuming you don't want/need SLI out of the box. Overall good price/performance. See the PSU sticky for a range of models to fit your budget. And assuming you're a gamer (given the choice of gfx card), you'll also want to try to get to 2GB RAM at some point. Good luck, and enjoy!

daslickone Posted May 7, 2006 Posted May 7, 2006 PSU http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10854 As far as CPU I would recomend Opteron. Little better chips Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shredman Posted May 7, 2006 Posted May 7, 2006 For a PSU you could try the new OCZs.....OCZ 600w Gamerxstream 129.99 shipped from Zipzoomfly.com. It is brand new and there are no reviews out yet, but with OCZs reputation I'm thinking it will be tops....mine arrives tomorrow. For the price it can't be beat. Alternatively, the OCZ 520 Powerstreams can be had for $110 after rebate if you look around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oleander66 Posted May 7, 2006 Posted May 7, 2006 I ended up getting Antec TRUEPOWERII TPII-550 550W for a PSU. It got perfect reviews on newegg, cheap, and was on the recommendation list. Thanks for your input! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
