AFAIK the StealthXStream is the same psu as the 600w GamerXStream, the only differences being the StealthXStream has less moltex and sata connectors and a different name.

Wow, that was fast. Hey you guys are awesome!! Thank you!


Also, what about the value of 1066 over 800?


The PNY card and th seagate look great. I wouldn't mind getting a 4m cache processor, such as the 6320 for $50 more.

I don't need a case, but do need an OS.

Thanks for the info, really appreciate it. I might be able to get it to run on 2k, I have some other games that are not supported such as LotRO.


Now, why chose the G.Skill 800 ram when the Crucial 1066 is the same final price?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6820231065 GSKILL 800fsb at $110

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6820148069 CRUCIAL 1066fsb at $110 (after MIR)


Being set for DX10 games is important since as few things as possible should have to be changed (processor only, most likely) in the future, and the game I am beta testing will eventually be DX10.

More cost up-front. If you're not oc'ing DDR2-800 is more then enough, and even if you are, with 800mhz ram you can get up to 2.8ghz on an E6300 without having to oc the ram. It doesnt really matter in the end. Both sets use Micron D9GMH IC's, they're pretty much the same ram. You could get the same speed as the Crucial ram with the G. Skill sticks by spending 3 minutes in the BIOS adusting some settings.
