What is your budget?

What are you planning on using this computer to do?

I would suggest a difference PSU - 1) You won't need that much power for that build. 2) I would go with a better brand (PC Power and Cooling, Corsair, OCZ, etc).

I would also suggest spending an extra $20 or so and get the Western Digital 640 GB HDD - it'll be just as fast as the 320GB, but has twice the space.

With more info (budget and purpose), we'll be able to help out some more.

well ur proposed build seems to exactly like my current rig...and Ive been extremely satisfied with my rig

You can lower the psu a little since u wont be need that much power...and try to opt for 120mm fans for ur case (they are usually much quieter and move more air)

First off, that PSU looks really bad. I hadn't heard anything about it, and after reading just a few takes on it, I can tell you that it is just not going to be a reliable way to go. It was considered old tech even a year ago. There are plenty of reliable PSUs out there that won't break the bank.

Really, you could do with even lower watts since there really isn't that much going on in that rig. You could probably do with a 500W or a 550W.

Also, I'd recommending going WD 640 gig hard drive since it is like 20-30 more than the 320gig.

edit: blek, almost exactly same post as huron. Spent too much time reading about the oryxx. I feel useless. -.-

ok budget is (about) £500, hoping to play most to date games, with room for upgrades in the future. also i thought i'll need high power as I'll be using this computer in an area with REALLY dodgy electric. obviously i'll link it up to a UBS, probably right about that though it is an awful lot of power... hard drive wise already got a spare 160GB and dont see much use for more than 480GB thanks for the help btw
