Hey all-
We're building a mid-range gaming rig here- we've decided to keep it last-gen to keep the costs down. Someone that saw us looking over the pieces began warning us that the mobo we had chosen would conflict with the RAM we were gonna use- so we thought we'd get a second opinion here with you guys.
By the by, we don't need to run Crysis on this thing, we're gonna use it for not-so demanding games like L4D, TF2 or Call of Duty, so we don't need to hear about how we should've gone with a Core i7 Extreme and 4 video cards (unless, of course, you have better and cheaper suggestions, then we're all ears).
Mobo: XFX nForce 790i Ultra SLI 775
CPU: Intel Q9550 2.83GHz
RAM: Crucial 6GB DDR3 1333
GPU: GeForce GTX 260 Core 216
For the PSU, we were thinking of opting for 650W- will that be enough?
Thanks in advance-
