So it's been a while since I've built a PC, 5 years or so, and I'm a bit out of touch. I'm looking for a little advice. I will probably only play a few games, more or less catching up on the best ones of the last few years. So that's the kind of performance I'm looking for. I will not overclock anything. Here are the components I am thinking about buying:
ASUS GeForce 9800 GT EN9800GT HB/HTDI/512M Video Card
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Wolfdale 3.0GHz LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor
GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3P LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard
OCZ Platinum 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual
Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3250410AS 250GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive
I already have a case and optical drive. My main question is, what should I do for a power supply? I will probably only run one HDD, one optical, one video card. Also, is the E8400 a little much and would I be better off (for the money) with an E7400. Any other suggestions would be great! Thanks.
