Well I plan on make a build soon and I have a question or two and suggestions are open to this build.
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: A week or two.
BUDGET RANGE: 400$-700$ CAD
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Gaming, watching movies, surfing the web, work
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers, OS and Power Supply is Cooler Master eXtreme Power Plus 500W
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: TigerDirect.ca and Canadacomputers.com
PARTS PREFERENCES: Most likely AMD CPU and ATI card, but suggestions can be taken based on value/performance
OVERCLOCKING: Maybe
SLI OR CROSSFIRE: No
MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1280x1024
Here are the parts I plan on getting:
Gigabyte GA-MA770T-UD3P -85$
Sapphire ATI RADEON HD 4770 128$
OCZ (OCZ3G13334GK) DDR3 PC3-10666 62$
AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition Quad 230$
Thermaltake Element T 50$
Western Digital Caviar Green 1TB - 85$
Prices are rounded off roughly.
And the power supply that I already have:
Cooler Master eXtreme Power Plus 500W
I would like to know if this power supply will be able to handle the following parts, I have checked PSU Calculators and they show the wattage used is below so it seems fine. Any suggestions on ways to make a cheaper build etc would be appreciated.
Thanks, GoldenDrago
