Hello,
I am putting a gaming desktop spec together and I would like to be 110% sure I haven't missed anything out for compatibility or advising more suitable components such as sufficient power/voltage(memory DIMM slots), interfaces, cabling, sufficient fans included(sufficient cooling?) etc.
No keyboard or monitor included in this list since I already got decent products
I am aware that the motherboard has a internal sound card but due internet research, its been identified it produces hissing and popping occasionally, plus I budgeted for a higher quality external card as shown.
My component list is as follows:
Intel i7 950 CPU 3.06GHz
