Hi, I have been lurking the board for awhile now and I have been piecing together information. I think im ready to put my system together so please let me know what you think:
What I have:
CD-RW and all Externals
Antec 900 Case
Tunniq Tower 120 Cooler
X-Fi sound card
500W pc power and cooling silencer -- will this be enough to power a 4850? I'm going to be keeping my old comp but was hoping to take this ps over into the new build then buy a cheap one for it... is that feasible?
Pieces I'm looking at:
Asus P5Q Pro
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 -- I want to get this for now then possibly upgrade to a Q9550 or something like that when quad core is a little more relevant... sound like a good idea?
Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 500GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s
2x Patriot Extreme Performance 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)
I want a 4850 for sure, if you guys could help me sort out what brand I would appreciate it, I don't have much experience with video cards...
Thanks for any help or suggestions you can give.
