gotdamojo06 Posted February 3, 2007 Posted February 3, 2007 looks pretty good, im guessing a gamming rig if i remember correctly though the ocz psus are not the best on the market, maybe go for a better one and drop the case and get a cheaper one? please correct me if im wrong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makaveli Posted February 3, 2007 Posted February 3, 2007 Looks like it's an awesome computer. What do you plan on doing with it? This computer might be way too good for what you plan on doing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingdingeling Posted February 3, 2007 Posted February 3, 2007 the PSU should be able to handle it just fine, looks like a solid build! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

capthowdy575 Posted February 3, 2007 Posted February 3, 2007 i would either go with a 1950xt or something along those line cause by the time DXten games come rolling off the shelf that card might be a little old correct me if i wrong but thats what i think. the ocz power supply might not be enough to fully use a 8800gts if your going to get that card i would suggest a silverstone or a higher output power supply and make sure the rails are caring some good amps. im using the antech p180 case right now and im loving it its pretty quiet and not to heavy and there is a lot of room in there and it will keep everything cool. it uses four 120mm fans so everything on med or low will be pretty quiet with all of them on high its not to bad either mostly its my power supply fan making the most noise it only has a 80mm fan in it.

daniel Posted February 4, 2007 Posted February 4, 2007 well first of.. it has SLI capability.. so a chance for upgradability is good... also... ive heard nforce is better than intel north bridges... (im not sure about this) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(im not sure about this) yeah, but what I meant is why you didn't go for the 680i, which is a better chipset overall (OCing) the 650i is a mid-range chip, which won't get as far as a 680i Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingdingeling Posted February 4, 2007 Posted February 4, 2007 @ capthowdy, 8800GTS/GTX = the only DX10 cards out, they're not old AT ALL! the X1950xt will performs worse as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
