NZXT make crap power supplys, your build will crash and burn if you use that bundled psu. Are you going to be oc'ing? if so, you might want to get some decent DDR-800 ram and a better mobo like the P5B Deluxe or P5W Deluxe.


Where are you getting this stuff? all those parts are way too expensive.

All the prices are CAD.

Im getting my computer build from a local store www.a-link.ca

Im on a budget with my MoBo: Cant really spend more than 140$ 160$ max

I've heard good reviews about the nzxt case, guess ill have to go back to my first choice: Sonata II 450W - 119$

As for the Ram, Thats all the store carries, but i'll recheck

EDIT: Yes I will be trying to OC

1) The memory you have selected is NOT compatible with that motherboard.
2) Is that motherboard even compatible with that CPU?

That motherboard doesn't support Core2Duo processors.

The nForce 4 chipset sucks for oc'ing, theres not much on that site that fits your budget and is good for oc'ing, but this one is alot better then the P5ND2. Im not sure that the P5ND2 supports the C2D, i cant find that much info on them.

For Reference^ Seems that Motherboard wont support Conroe either.

YES! apt403's recommended motherboard is an MSI and lately MSI has taken DFI's place in the Top-Dogs of Over clocking and overall best motherboard for Core 2 Duo's.

Nope. The only Core2Duo compatable motherboard(in your price-range)at that store is:

MSI P965 NEO-F: $132.00

[VridaW]

haha. You guys are great! Thanks.

Ill get that Mobo and build my new PC tommorow

Final Question, The 400w PSU in the NZXT won't be enough?

 

[1Tanker]

They only have 1 set of RAM to fit the MSI motherboard(that won't break the bank). They offer no description...i would be leerie of that place...GL

[YO_KID37]

Nope, not with a ATI 1950Pro Especially, Minimum i'd recommend with your Hardware 500W SLIcert or Crossfire Friendly PSU.

 

[doubletake33]

IMO as you can see apt403 is scopin out an Enermax Liberty 620w for a future build. Note: pay close attention to the +12v rail amps before you buy. I'd go for dual rail +12v at 20 amps and up. This should be perfect:

Good luck with tha build!
