Hi,

After a few hours of research I've come up with the following build:


Case: Antec P182
http://www.dabs.com/productview.as [...] edId=11145

Motherboard: Gigabyte S775 Intel P35 ATX Audio Lan DDRII FSB1333
http://www.dabs.com/productview.as [...] edId=11145

PSU: Corsair Memory 550W VX
http://www.dabs.com/productview.as [...] edId=11145

CPU: Intel Quad Core Q6600 (Is this the Q0 stepping one?)
http://www.dabs.com/productview.as [...] edId=11145

Graphics Card: Gigabyte GeForce 8800GT 512MB GDDR3 PCIE Dual DVI 700/1.9
http://www.dabs.com/productview.as [...] edId=11145

Memory: OCZ Technology 2x2GB 240DIMM PC2-6400 Gold
http://www.dabs.com/productview.as [...] edId=11145

HDD: Seagate Barracuda 7200.1 500GB 7200RPM S300 32MB
http://www.dabs.com/productview.as [...] edId=11145

Opinions and advice would be much appreciated, it's been a while since I last built a computer!

Cheers chaps! :)

I think you mean G0, not Q0... and that is dependent on the retailer, you will have to ask them before purchasing. You should get the modular PSU from Corsair so your p182 will look amazing inside. (trust me on that)...

Ah yes ;)

I meant G0, sorry. I heard you can tell from the voltage? I may be wrong?

Can you even see the PSU inside a P182?

Odd, I thought it was a really popular Mobo, any other recommendations then?

Cheers.
