| 725774 | 2008-12-04 19:41:00 | hello ppl :).. i m new here.. i was planning to buy a new system.. foll is the specification (major items only).. Processor : Intel C2D E7300 Mobo : ASUS P5K VM RAM : Transcend 2x2GB 800Mhz GPU : MSI 9600GT 512MB GDDR3 LCD : Samsung 19' 943NWX Cabinet : Coolermaster 690 Considering the above rig suggest whether i should buy the 1. Coolermaster eXtreme Power Plus 500W 2. Coolermaster eXtreme Power 550W 3. Coolermaster eXtreme Power 600W Secondly what do u think bout the mobo? Suggest some other on similar lines if u think otherwise.. intel or asus doesn't matter.. Thirdly if there any major difference in terms of performance b/w the MSI 9600GT 512MB GDDR3 or the MSI 8600GT 512MB GDDR3? Many thanks in advance! |

| 725775 | 2008-12-04 20:00:00 | Save some money and get a full size ATX motherboard - the one you have chosen is M-ATX. the Asus P5K is good. Get an Asus or Gigabyte graphics card. Don't get MSI. |

| 725777 | 2008-12-04 20:34:00 | I had huge problems with the last ASUS board I got, swapped it for a Gigabyte and it was all sweet after that. I would recommend Gigabyte, ASUS has lost a bit of ground with me. | DeSade (984) | ||
| 725778 | 2008-12-04 20:51:00 | Thanks.. You forgot the SMPS part.. any idea? The 600w one looks best. |

| 725779 | 2008-12-04 21:09:00 | The 600w PSU is overkill, 500w will be fine....I have gone off Gigabyte.... | SolMiester (139) | ||
| 725780 | 2008-12-05 20:24:00 | Thanks for the suggestions. I was thinking of buying thr Corsair VX 450W PSU.. will that work? i think it should since it has over 80% efficiency.. i hope its not on the edge kind of thing.. lol.. | 104 (14378) | ||
| 725781 | 2008-12-08 12:17:00 | Bump! Anyone?? | 104 (14378) | ||
| 725782 | 2008-12-08 20:01:00 | Bump! Anyone?? Will be fine... |

| 725783 | 2008-12-08 20:34:00 | Thirdly if there any major difference in terms of performance b/w the MSI 9600GT 512MB GDDR3 or the MSI 8600GT 512MB GDDR3 The 9600 will be a heck of a lot faster than the 8600, but get a Gigabyte or Asus as recommended by jwil1. |
