Building a PC - Need Help!

[jfinny01]

here is what i have planned.....

Motherboard - ASUS P5W DH
Graphics - XFX 8800GTS
Ram - 2GB OCZ PC6400
CPU - INTEL Q6600
Monitor - LG M228WA
Case - NZXT APOLLO GAMER
CD/DVD - NEC AD-7170A-0B
Hard Drive - 500gb

i dont know what psu i will need for this, what is the lowest watt that will work with this system?

also will there been adequate cooling?

any comments will be appreciated, thanks.

Right off the bat I see a 8800GTS. Instead, why don't you buy the 8800GT? It's cheaper and more powerful than the GTS.

I really like this Antec PSU.

I agree with Cinders, the 8800GT is the better buy. Also, why are you buying the P5WDH? The ASUS P5K is a newer motherboard with support for the Penryn CPUs and Crossfire and it's also quite a bit cheaper than the P5WDH. As for the case, get the CoolerMaster Stacker 830 Evolution from Newegg instead. It's huge, looks cool, comes with a heavy rebate and free shipping, and has slots for nine 120mm fans for the ultimate in cooling. As for the PSU, get this and you'd be good to go.

i was going for the deluxe because i thought it had a better chipset.

It looks like all the 8800gt's I found are "pre-order" in the uk, not sure why, but here's a link to one.

edit: I did find a gainward 8800gt in stock here.

For a mobo, here's a p5k-e that's supposed to be pretty nice.

sorry to be a pain in the ***, but is there a good intel mobo out there that suports quad core, and is fully sli ready?

The MSI P6N SLI Platinum is an excellent such board.

The Asus P5N-E SLI is a nice SLI ready intel board as well.

In fact in techspot's review, it said

The performance and price is what we have found to be the most impressive aspect of the P5N-E SLI, the features and overclocking abilities are just a nice big bonus as far as we are concerned. We highly recommend the ASUS P5N-E SLI to anyone looking for an affordable motherboard capable of delivering high-end SLI performance.

And according to ASUS it supports

LGA775 Socket Intel® Quad-Core/CoreTM Extreme/Pentium D /Pentium 4/Celeron CPU processors
Support Intel® next generation 45nm Multi-core CPU
