GA-X58A-UD3R build check

[ownsyouall]

I just want to know that this system will work once i get all the parts lol
well anyway

thermal compound: comes with fan
OS: Gentoo Linux
video card: nvidia gtx 220 pci-e

Notes: i know the power supply is probably overpowered since i want to do over clocking and add components in the future i made it about 100w more powerful than what i think it should be

I'm pretty sure it will all work but i only really know the software side of a computer so if you hardware people could help me out that would be great =)
if you feel im forgetting something just ask

Wow - you really need to add spaces between each part to make it legible.....

I can see though that your old DDR2 ram is not going to work with a DDR3 i7 build...

1000w is more than you will likely ever need, especially with a crappy graphics card like a GT 220. 1000w is more for 3 top range gpus in trifire or tri-sli.....

Really the motherboard & CPU are the only decent choices - everything else is a big mess to be honest.

Best to have a quick look through other posts that suit your budget and start again.

Sorry if this seems rude just trying to be honest.

Peace

nah, he said future proofing.... and upgrades...

+1..... he is right.

video card: nvidia gtx 220 pci-e

okkkk you need a better GPU......




What is your budget?

 

[ownsyouall]

thanks for the help =)
i already bought the gt220 so i probably should of told you guys that. I do plan on upgrading/sli so yes it will be upgraded in the future
ok so i need better ram what about
ram: OCZ Gold 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1066 (PC3 8500) Desktop Memory Model OCZ3G1066LV4GK
(http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227582)
just picking because its cheap if you can find better ram for lower price that would be most helpful =)
i dont really have a defined budget just making the rest very cheap will upgrade them later.

 

[Atotalnoob]

You need triple channel ram

This one is what you want, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231335 G.skill 6 gig ram

 

[ownsyouall]

That rams kind of expensive what about
ram: Kingston 3GB (3 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1066 (PC3 8500) Triple Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model KVR1066D3N7K3/3G
(http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820134828)

 

[Atotalnoob]

er, the RAM you keep picking is slow, and none to good.........

stay with G.skill.... sometimes Mushkin

 

[coldsleep]

What's this build going to be used for?

That Kingston 3 GB kit is fine. It's not particularly fast, but you're not going to notice the difference in clock speed real-world usage. You may notice the difference between 3 GB and 6 GB if you're doing anything particularly memory-intensive.

Here's a 6 GB kit for $80 with free shipping that you might be interested in. ($21 more for double the RAM.)

 

[ownsyouall]

Basicly everything gentoo linux system so lots of compiling blender for 3d rendering video gaming with wine or windows 7

 

[coldsleep]

If you're going to be doing 3D rendering, I'd recommend trying to fit 6 GB RAM into your budget if at all possible.

 

[Atotalnoob]

he needs to have 3 sticks, not one or two

 

[ownsyouall]

what if i get 4 sticks?

 

[Atotalnoob]

it will run in single channel mode, and affect your performance.

 

[coldsleep]

The difference between running in single-channel and triple-channel is only going to make a difference for 3D rendering. You could try looking up benchmarks, but I wouldn't expect the performance difference to be more than 4-5%.

I'm unsure why atotalnoob objected to the 3-stick 6 GB kit I linked, though. I can understand if $80 is too expensive for you right now, ownsyouall.
