hey this will be my first time putting together a system
im going to be using cd2 6400 or 6600, a 7600gt card, 1 sata hd, 2 optical drives, sound blaster xfi with front panel. People say stay away from rosewill power supplies but I need advice:
Whats a ~500 watt power supply I can get that is reliable for 50-60$??
Also, I am not looking to over clock, so should I just get 533 ram or 667 ram? Can I get value select or should I go with something better? Looking for 2gs.
Now the most important question is the MB. I am not looking to overclock, just something stable and most importantly something that won't give me a hassle with ram or with installing windows and using my sata drive. Whats the best cheap no frills stable c2d board? thanks
