Hi adamm,
can you give a budget for this build?

I disagree with those two, the GTX275 is mostly obsolete now, and the 700w PSU sounds of low quality.

HDD: Single Hard Drive (500GB SATA-II 3.0Gb/s 16MB Cache 7200RPM HDD)

And I find the harddrive marginally questionable simply because high capacity HDD's are just so cheap.

Are you planning on using this for gaming?

how can it sound of low quality?? he didn't list anything but 700W

:haha: Haha because I can think of few good 700w power supplies . Just a couple cooler master ones. I suspect i'm right too!

Either way, its likely the CORSAIR CMPSU-650TX 650W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Compatible with Core i7 ... - Retail at $100 is a better choice.

How could I have ever doubted you? i forgot your clairvoyant HK :haha:


seriously, I think given his limited description, I think he was just throwing out how many watts he wanted in the build. there are a number of quality 700w PSU's.

A specific budget would be very useful. As far as the GPU goes, consider spending about $30 more for the HD 5850.

Yes, but you know, we've recommended a lot of 5850 recently, and I have yet to see one in stock!
