N.E.A Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 nice build but i say get a high quality psu (crosair , antec , HEC , OCZ ,ULTRA ) and you can put a little money more in the video card and get 5870 what say you ..? and ah WELCOME TO OCC..........................

nns Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 Get a quality Power Supply! Corsair 550/520W would be good for the build!! Better chasis would ensure better ventilation something like CM 690 or HAF 922! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewr05 Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 Have a look through OCC's Recommended Power Supplies List and find a good power supply from there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.E.A Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 yeah a good case like nzxt lexa s or m59 or antec 902 or cm storm sniper / scout but cases are personal matter .. if you are planing to run more than one card i say 700 psu will be good, modular one Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pezcore Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 I'll have a Corsair TX750 for sale next week $100 shipped [to the US48] System looks good though; you're gonna like that 5850. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCFreak Posted October 17, 2009 Posted October 17, 2009 Everything looks pretty good, but I would get the 640GB HD ... it should be within a dollar or two of the 500GB. Also, the PSU, I would look elsewhere, something with a little more juice too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
torrent1 Posted October 17, 2009 Posted October 17, 2009 thans for your inputs guys cant decide whether to go the Corsair VX-550 for $110 or Corsair TX-650 for $140 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nns Posted October 17, 2009 Posted October 17, 2009 (edited) TX-650 if you don't mind the extra $30, but VX550 would suffice otherwise! Edited October 17, 2009 by nns Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
