Hey all, as you can see I'm admittedly new here. I'm trying to build a system myself, however I'm at a bit of a loss regarding 2 things.
First off, what I've got listed below are the components that I'm looking at getting, the problem I have is I'm not entirely sure what size of power supply I should get.
Secondly, as I'm sure you can guess, this system is going to be used for gaming 98% of the time. I know that this isn't the forum for software questions, but can someone please tell me what version of Vista I should purchase? It's just bizarre, I've been dealing w/ computers for a decent amount of time and haven't the slightest clue.
Any help or further suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
