Building a Pc

I'm looking into building a new Gaming Comp, nothing extreme. I know pretty much what I want, it's just I don't understand exactly all of the specs on some of the components. So, I am thinking about putting my list of what I want in link form and having some of you Tech savvy folks, who are willing, to look it over and tell me what you think.

 

So the above post is what? Some kind of warning?

 

Yes, be forewarned you Grapey bastard.

 

Sounds like a sales pitch in disguise... 8)

 

Give us the link then

 

I am doing a list right now.

 

Here is just the basics of course. I think its a good setup, but I'm not an expert so tell me what you think....

right now with all rebates, it is $835

 

Don't you think the power supply is a bit overkill?

 

I was worried abot not having enough, but you are right 600 watts is a ton. You think 500 will get the job done?

 

400 more likely . .main drain will be the videocard . .pentium hardly uses any power at all . .

 

*watches as Rob's electric bill goes through the roof*

 

Nah , I have kids who seem to think all the lights and electronic devices must always be on.

 

you might even get away with 350 . .

 

Well remember, A easy way to fuck up a PC is put an Insuffecient powere supply... you can never have too much

 

I remember wanting to buy such a machine not too long ago . . I believe 300 watts wouldve been enough .. But for the sakeof future compatability, start hoarding that depleted uranium . .
