Hello everyone,
This won't be a home-built system, but I was hoping you all would take a look and tell me if everything seems kosher. I apologoze if posting in this forum is a terrible faux pax, let me know
A few of points:
1) This will be a gaming system.
2) I'm going to use a BFG 6800 GT that I already own for now, then upgrade to a non-sli solution later, such as a Nv 8800 GTX.
3) I'm really not sure about the Intel 965 reference MOBO, is it good? The company's other offerings pretty much force a choice between this board and spending another $150 for something better. Since I'm not going to SLI, I didn't want to spend that much.
4) Will the case's standard 420w PS be enough?
Thank you for your help!
