Case, I've no idea, because this is personal taste. The case I'm going to get is Silverstone TJ-09. Visit silverstonetek.com This case has good airflow, style, etc. And worth every penny if you have the money. www.hexus.net PSU: Corsair, Silverstone, Cooler Master RealPower, or Thermaltake. CPU: You might wanna wait for Quad Core Q6600 for the same price. Very soon. 22nd July MOBO: Looks fine, is that P35 chipset? And Deluxe too? Memory: May I suggest Crucial Ballistix Tracer, Editors choice for great bargain and real good, too, if you a fancy one try Patriot, or Corsair, cheap memories? Sorry no idea. Kingston is pretty cheap. Video: If you're not needing it for high resolution gaming the 320MB version looks fine. The rest looks fine. You might have another though at what are using this PC for? Mine is for working. |

| 567633 | 2007-07-10 09:00:00 | What you've got there is more than enough for what you want to do. Just a few questions: - Do you *really* need to spend so much on a case, given that it'll sit under your desk out of the way most of the time? - How much gaming will you be doing, and what sort of games will you be playing? There's no point spending $500 on a graphics card if the games you'll be playing will run comfortably on a $100 one. |

Huh, you never know, the most respected electronic good I respect is a Computer, although I use to like calculators, but a computer is a more powerful calculator. I love the TJ-09, looks good for working, and it won't hide under my desk to built up dust, I hate putting expensive PC cases under the desk. Besides, I'm going to get the oversize X2900XT soon. I hope my PC does not fail on me from making money. |

| 567635 | 2007-07-10 09:29:00 | If your spending that much on the PC consider a decent brand power supply such as Enermex or Silverstone. Thermaltake PSU's are a bit hit and miss some are good and some are crap, the Toughpower series have a very good reputation. Corsair units are good but very expensive and offer little benefit over an Enermex or Silverstone unit. If your not overclocking then theres no reason to buy expensive memory, consider either generic memory or the entry level modules from the likes of Corsair and Kingston. If you are overclocking buy a much cheaper CPU! The E4300 are all hitting 3.00GHz on the stock cooler and offer awesome value. If your just an occasional gamer then the 320mb 8800GTS will be fine. |

Your PC is very good already, most games should run it but not at extremely high resolution. |

| 567638 | 2007-07-10 10:53:00 | There is nothing wrong with the Raidmax 520w PSU. | pctek (84) | ||
| 567639 | 2007-07-10 22:09:00 | If your spending that much on the PC consider a decent brand power supply such as Enermex or Silverstone. Thermaltake.... (a bit hit and miss) Toughpower series have a very good reputation. Corsair units are good but very expensive and offer little benefit over an Enermex or Silverstone unit. Agreed. I would highly recommend thermaltake toughpower (rather than a normal TTake one. Very good and stable amperage on the 12v rails. I have a 750w and it runs like a dream.:thumbs: |
