Would this be a good video card?

Yes, that was very off topic.

However, in my last post on this thread (before the talk about getting the ladies started...) there is one thing that is unanswered and buried.

To be exact (lol I'm bored), it's right here:

I asked for someone else to come in and recommend a PSU, since I do not know of a "uBTX" PSU. Keep in mind that any new PSU must fit delfofthebla's Gateway DX210X uBTX case.

Now, let's continue with that...

Lol that's funny MetalX!

Ok well yes, uBTX is Ultra Megaman Baby... TX? :haha:

Mostly agree, but Corsair and OCZ are just rebadged cheapos with no special technology... just cheap Chinese power supplies highly promoted by sales whizzes to appear to be special. They are not. They work ok, but they are NOT in the same league with PCP&C, or Antec.

Actualy... Corsair / OCZ are probably the best brand for RAM besides Kingston

But what are you talking about when you say Corsair and OCZ?

The importance of a power supply is in the quality of the build, almost entirely, and has little to do with the wattage, the rails, or other aspects. On some equipment you do need higher wattage... 450 watts in some 600 watts in a few others. But a quality built 300 watts power supply will do the job.
Unfortunately, the marketing ploys of these companies has created an artificial need for higher wattage, so fewer companies are interested in making a quality 300 watt machine with quality components.
Corsair is good memory. Some few modules are among the best. Corsair is merely Samsung memory rebadged... almost all of it. Others are made for Samsung by other memory companies then have the Corsair name slathered all over the modules.
Corsair does not make most of its Corsair power supplies. They are made in China by the same company that makes Delta and several other brands.
OCZ is an actually company, based in Canada, as OCZ Technologies. It was formed in August 2000, and they do make SOME memory there, but not much. OCZ was created from whole cloth by Oki Electric Industries of Shanghai, Shanghai Longiing Microelectronics Co., Ltd, Olympus Optical, and three other companies all owned under the same umbrella. OCZ is a marketing company who likes to say they are Canadian, but they are really an Asian firm that sells whatever is made by a large number of companies in Korea, China, Shangai, and India.
You should think of them both as marketing - advertising companies with few engineers... the technology comes from elsewhere.
Their plan is to make a few great products that get great reviews, so they can use that "quality branding" as a tool to spread the word on other producsts, many of which are junk. Most of their power supplies are no better than Delta, PowerMax, Sparkle, and many others. If you take one apart, you find the same components as many other cheap cheap power supplies... you just pay a lot more for them.

That's true, But I used a OCZ powersupply ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817341002 ) and it's actualy quite good and never died on me for about a Year

Only a year? =P

Trust me, Corsair's PSUs are _-*NOT*-_ cheap chinese junk the way you put it.

No they are not; if you don't know what you're talking about, then don't say anything. Corsair Memory is of high performance. They are a very trusted brand among computer builders (I have 1Gb of it). What makes you say this?

i have the 7600 gt from evga and it is pretty good for gaming. i can set everything to high in call of duty 2. check around you might be able to find it for 100 dollars at circuitcity.

as for power supplies check outpost.com for the ultra 500w its 40 dollars free shipping and a rebate as well so its less or free.

i got the 400 watt and it works fine except im still waiting on the rebate (since october).

Oh c'mon everyone. Again, read carefully!, don't misinterpret.

Corsair and OCZ both make RAM and PSUs, so it was hard to determine which products he's talking about in the first line.

However, when he expressed how PC Power & Cooling and Antec are superior brands, this proves he was obviously talking about PSU's when he mentioned Corsair and OCZ, since PCP&C and Antec don't make RAM!!

Why would someone compare brands that make RAM to brands that make PSUs?? Of course he was talking about Corsair and OCZ's line of PSUs, and not their RAM...

This was just some clarification..


On a side note, this seems to keep getting overlooked so I will say it once more:

When recommending a PSU, keep in mind the form factor of delfofthebla's Gateway PC case!! It's not ATX!!

Sorry about that.

If you want a 8800 then dell home has one for 320 after rebates and discounts.

I don't know about Corsair, but OCZ does NOT make crappy PSUs. Their new GameXStream line has been created in tandem with FSP, who are a high-quality maker of PSUs. I have an OCZ 700W GameXStream and it is a superb-quality PSU that can handle anything you throw at it, is very stable under high load (see my system specs to understand what I'm talking about) and looks very cool too, not to forget the fact that it doesn't blow the bank as do similar Antec and PC Power & Cooling PSUs.

Yeah I agree with Rage, the new OCZ GameXStream PSU is awesome, I use in all my builds and they run awesome!!

I love how we can't stay on topic for more then a post. =P

Sony televisions are assembled in Malaysia and that doesn't make them complete ****! Hell, even the Apple iPod Shuffle I have says "Made in China" and it's the most popular MP3 player around!
