So I took the decision of building a second computer on my own. My first build that I made about a year ago tought me alot of things. I fried a couple of CPUs along the way and saw some blue smoke and sparks coming out of my PSUs, but I guess it served me as lessons and I'm now ready to build a real professional custom PC.
So I need your advice guys because there's a couple of components I'm not sure.
I want the following things in my computer :
EVGA 680i motherboard
EVGA Geforce 8800 (320MB)
Zalman 9700
Core 2 Duo E6300
80GB 10,000RPM Raptor
I'm not sure about the RAM, PSU and the case.
I want 2GB DDR2 (1GBx2) (maybe G.Skill?)
And concerning the PSU, I thought of Antec but I'm not sure how many watts I need (around 600?)
and finally, the case, I woud like to have it screwless (doesn't need to be entirely in aluminium)
thanks in advance for your help!
EDIT : please keep in mind this is a budget gaming pc, my 7.30$ salary per hour can't afford something too big
