Last response: in Systems
Share

I have never built anything before and need help. I'm mostly happy with what i picked, but i'm not really one for this and probably have missed something that doesn't work with everything else. About 750/800 is good, but of course, less is better for me.

This HDD is faster and cheaper per gb. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

If you do not plan on x-fire get this PSU http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
If you plan on x-fire get a 600w OCZ or 650w Antec/Corsair.
DO NOT get that BFG PSU. it is junk.

Heres 4gb or ram, and faster for just $80 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...


Excellent Ram, good psus, hdd is ok but the op should make sure he updates the firmware, you could also get a 1 TB drive from newegg for $65 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... I'm pretty sure this is as fast as the seagate but I'm no hdd expert. I'd expect it to be though, as it is 7200 rpm and has 16mb of cache.
