avididid Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 David here, I've been all over the net to make my 1st purchase. I went with a special at NewEgg site. I got the Case, Power Supply and 2 fans for $35.00 including shipping. This case is the HEC 6C28BB8S Special they have going. I know you guys are saying to yourself what a cheap way to start. However remember I won't be filling the case up with alot of stuff!! Just a Hard Drive, DVDRW drive, Motherboard & CPU. No Video card, No sound card, no floppy drive and I don't play games or use the internet. I didn't want to spend alot of money on my 1st build since I might give up (Hope Not) Next thing is the MB & CPU Combo. You guys have given me some great pointers. I think instead of a MB that supports DDR2 I'll look for 1 that supports DDR3 since the cost diff of the memory is not that great anymore. I downloaded a PDF manual on a GigiByte MB the other day and it kinda scared me!! I have changed out a hard drive and DVD drive on the system I now have (Setting the drives to master and slave and all that sufff, but what I was reading in the MB manual I downloaded kinda of shook me up - I guess I'll learn it!! I'll get back with you guys for more help - Tks David Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deman Risu Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 Specs of power supply? To ensure future compatibility, you'll want at least a 450w PSU. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVIYTH0S Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 Specs of power supply? To ensure future compatibility, you'll want at least a 450w PSU. ....if computer components get less efficient . But it's a good question since it should be known if it's a quality PSU or not Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
