Another "Is my build good" Topic.

Ok, after doing a lot of research, the following is my build:

Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-N650SLI-DS4 LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 650i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail

GPU: 2 EVGA 512-P2-N747-LR GeForce 8500GT 512MB 128-bit GDDR2 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Retail

Case: APEVIA X-Navigator ATXA8NW-AL/500 Silver/Black Aluminum ATX Full Tower Computer Case 500W Power Supply - Retail

Proccessor: Intel Core 2 Duo E6420 Conroe 2.13GHz LGA 775 Processor Model BX80557E6420 - Retail

Ram: Kingston 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model KVR667D2N5K2/2G - Retail



What should I take out? Add In? I am taking out the case due to the fact that I have an extra case at home, though it is a mid size and pretty old..... and white.

I probably won't be building this anytime reall soon, but I may. You never know!

Try to get an 8600GT or GTS instead of the 8500. Like this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127284
I think a single one will outperform 2 8500's.

Since you asked, don't get the Apevia 500W power supply. If you are going SLI, 500W is very marginal, especially from that brand which has a poor reputation for reliability. For some ideas of SLI certified power supplies check the Nvidia SLI Zone. Note that only a few are rated at 500W. Most are 550W or much higher.

Video card is better then mine. That HDD is a bit small though...

What are you planning to do, gaming or what?

 

[mailpup]

What hard drive?

 

[mopar man]

I would be gaming on it if I did build it. That and something for my dad to get on and do what he does (Lowes.com, Homedepot.com, etc.).

Looks like a gaming rig to me that old dad can "use" sometimes!
