Greetings,

 

I want to make sure that all the parts of my new system would fit without compatibility issues. Your help is greatly appreciated.

 

1. EVGA 8800 GTS 512mb
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6814130312

 

2. 2 x2GB OCZ RAM = 4GB ram
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6820227270

 

3. GIGABYTE P35 DS3L Motherboard
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] YTE%2bDS3L

 

4. E6750 Processor
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6819115029

 

5. Power Supply (This is where I need help) I find a nice Corsair PowerSupply
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6817139002
Is this good?

 

6. WD 500gb 7200rpm your average OEM HardDisk

 

7. Windows XP Pro

8. Samsung DVD-WR SATA

 

9. Creative Labs Fatal1ty Platinum XtremeGamer

(Does this card eats up lots of W from the power supply? or am I safe?)

 

10. GIGABYTE Case

11. 22" LG Flatron Wide Monitor

Anything else you think I should include? I'm going to buy soon please let me know if any of the mentioned components would cause conflicts or is not compatible with another component.

Nice rig. That is an excellent PSU, you can get a little cheaper here;

Not sure if the sound card is needed, I'd try on board first. I'm also seeing a few problems with OCZ ram, check the Gigabyte website for compatibility with this board. Good luck

very nice rig, nothing to say except for the fact that it's a very nice monitor (see my sig :D )

about the ram, the memory list from gigabyte doesn't mention it
but it doesn't mention a lot, see for yourself:

Thanks guys for the feedback :)

Can anyone help me pick a more compatible ram. I'm looking for quality product also. I need 2 x2gb.

Would the sound card cause trouble? I think it's a nice piece of equipment. I like the 5' bay pannel but not sure if it's going to cause trouble or not.

it's not a problem
it's just a discussion about the use for a sound card when onboard is also pretty good these days
i'm very happy with my xtremegamer though :D

i think you will be just fine with the ram
if you are really determined to buy something else, I would go for this

mushkin is a very good high-end brand and I have never seen compatibility issue's with it
