My future system...good or bad?

[kappa_man84]

Hi there.
I am new to this forum and first I would like to congratulate all of you for the good job you're doing here.
Well...I've decided to buy a new computer (or components to be more specific) and I need some advices regarding its.
MOBO : ASUS M2N AM2
CPU : AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ Windsor 65W Box AM2 (I can't afford to buy a better one because in Romania components are much more expensive then in other countries )
GRAPHIC CARD : Gainward BLISS 7900GS Golden Sample 256MB DDR3 256-bit
HARD-DISK : Seagate 250GB SATA-II 16MB 7200RPM Barracuda ES
MEMORY : Geil Value 1GB 800MHz Dual Channel
POWER SUPPLY: Spire RockeTeer III Real 500W

Dvd, case and peripherals and display I already have. This is a total of about... 800 USD and it is the maximum amount of money I can afford to pay.
Please let me know if is something wrong,if something is missing or anything. I am open to any sugestion (except INTEL CPU because here is far far away from my buget ).

BEST REGARDS FROM ROMANIA!

The 7900gs needs 350W 22A.

Everything except the psu is good. Pick one of these recommended psu brands:

Theres a thread on anandtech about it devoted to how crap it is.

CPU: E6300 - $185.00
Motherboard: GA-965P-DS3 - $132.99
RAM: 1GB OCZ GOLD DDR2 667 MHZ - $95.99
GPU: EVGA GeForce 7900GS 256MB PCI-e - $150
PSU: OCZ 600W GameXtreme - $129.99
CASE: Its completely up to you, depends on what style you want.

TOTAL : $694 without taxes/shipping and handling.

This should keep you on your budget, and its a Intel Core 2 Duo build so this should be good enough for your need and if you plan on Overclocking you can reach 3.0 ghz with this CPU. Ofcoarse you would need a better HSF.

No, not too powerful. Never said that. I was implying the psu you chose is of questionable quality. It'll work. How long is the question. Pick a brand name psu.
