Last check before ordering parts

[bigbeef2604]

I'm about ready to order my parts but just wanted you guys to give it a once over to make sure I have everything needed to build this computer. In the future I will be buying better HSF for the processor so that I can overclock. Also, has newegg been giving out GO stepping Q6600's? If not i'll buy somewhere else and maybe pay a few extra bucks.
I know you guys are probably going to comment on the cheap PSU, but I need to keep the price down while still having a Q6600 processor.

Looks like a winner to me, and it looks like (judging from the recent reviews) people are now getting G0's regularly from Newegg

I got a Goodpower 500W last Nov. and it works great with my overclocked E6600 and my X1950XT video ( see below ), Its actualy a good power supply (pardon the pun).

double post

The x1950gt will have a tough time at 1920x1080. Oh well, you can fix that later. There's an x1950xt at newegg for just a bit more money, but it's open box so I don't know if it's a good idea.

I've got the same DVD model. It's a bit noisy, but it does the job great.

The rest is OK.

great! So is this everything that I'll need for the system build? I joined a computer club through my University and they're doing a demo with my build (to show how to build a computer). I want to make sure I have everything that they'll need to do this.
Thanks so much!

As in, there will be 100 students watching while you put this thing together? Good luck!!!

Nothing more embarassing that sitting there for half an hour wondering why it won't boot, with lots of people watching, only to discover you didn't push a memory stick far enough, or didn't plug it in... Hope it goes well

 

[bigbeef2604]

haha actually i'll be one of the students watching! I'm having one of the experienced club guys put it together as the demo. Does it look like I have everything needed?

 

[badders]

What about the Clock Quantizer? It'll never run without that!!




(That was a Joke...just in case)
Looks like you're all set chap!

 

[bigbeef2604]

hahaha i swear you didnt trick me for a second... haha Thanks again

 

[aevm]

Yeah, all set. You can add the USB soda cooler and the USB coffee heater later.
