Hello, my first post here, but been a reader of the forums for well over a year, my 5 year old computer is starting to get a "few" problems running some of the games I enjoy, so finally threw a new setup together. it's this so far:
CPU:
Core 2 duo E8400 3.0GHZ Wolfdale
Motherboard:
P5N-T Deluxe ATX
Ram:
4x Crucial Ballistix DDR2 800 PC2-6400
GFX:
Asus EN8800GTS/HTDP/512M Retail
HDD:
Caviar RE 400GB 16MB / 8.7ms / 7200RPM / SATA300
PSU is my big headache atm, never really been interested in PSU's, so a bit out there atm, and I'm from Denmark, which means many of the PSU's that people list on this forum is not possible for me.
could you guys come with some ideas for PSU's that are decent? or how many A I should go after for every line? 5V, 12V and such.
of course if anyone got a better idea for hardware fittings I would love to know them, although money is a bit tight, I'm a student so this machine is going to be a big hit on my wallet, but I hope it will last me a decent share of time *thinking back on my 5 year old champ*, so if there are any a little cheaper without giving me a too big performance hit it will be great, however the system as it is atm, is within my reach.
Info on use:
games I play is:
Final Fantasy IX
Eve-online
the last is what is killing my old system. beside that then some random every day use. the OS will be Windows XP pro. since the idea of vista gives me the creeps.
