Hello all,
I've recently constructed myself a new build on paper, and would like some opinions, and questions answered.
Case: Centurion 5, CAC-T05 Looks nice, good cooling, recommendation of others.
PSU: Real Power 550 Watt, RS-550-ACLY
Is it enough? Is it a good brand? I've heard terrifying stories of PSU's dieing and damaging the whole system, and would like to avoid that .
Motherboard: Gigabyte, GA-965P-DS3
Not sure, but I want one of Gigabyte, that's for sure. It's just that the names are so confusing, how should I know what the difference is between the GA-965P-DS3 or the GA-965G-DS3?
CPU: Core 2 Duo, E6400
RAM: Kingston ValueRAM, 667 Mhz, PC2-5300, 1GB, Kit Of 2
DVD Rewriter: Samsung, SH-S183A Not sure, don't know much about DVD-RW Drives, but I don't have high needs from one either.
HD: WD Caviar, SE16, 250GB Again, not sure: but I want a reliable, fast one with 250 GB, so I figured this one is my best bet for a budget system, correct?
GPU: Club 3D, 7600GT, 256MB
I'm planning to upgrade later on to 2GB RAM and a DX10 GPU, and I might be wanting to OC later on. :roll:
Now, for some general questions ( :tongue: ) :
1. What do you think of it?
2. How long would it last with another 1GB RAM and a DX10 GPU Upgrade?
3. How would the performance be with recent and upcoming games?
Help much appreciated!
Regards,
Tim
