Is This Computer Build Compatible?
Hello All,
First off, I am a gammer. I know a lot about computers, but not ALL about the hardware. I was wondering if you guys could see my new computer build and tell me if it all will work >. I don't want to buy everything and somehow the motherboard wont fit in the case! So please cut me some slack and see if this all will work. Thanks BTW: I know there is no sound card or harddrive, I already got those. Motherboard: Processor: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819115005 Voltage: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817148028 Video Card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130061 RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231098 Network: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16833106121 2X DVD/CD http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16827101131 Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811166004 Thanks for reading! PS: Suggestions are welcomed. Twistedben |

Ok, Here are my suggestions and I do know things about computers so I hope you listen,
Video Card ABSOLUTELY DESTROYS 7950GT And you can overclock its RAM to 2Ghz like a X1950XTX sometimes http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102067 Motherboard (Use this) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813128012 Better/Cheaper PSU http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817182032 More OCable Prosessor (Also worth more) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819115013 Good deal on the RAM, and get rid of the network card, the mothrboard has onboard GigEBit Get this heatsink http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835118003 And overclock to over 3Ghz without breaking a sweat along with that mobo.

Yes the 965P DS3 is a great mobo also I'd second the suggestion by F1N3ST to get the X1950XT it's a lot better than the 7950GT and his suggested PSU looks fine too. Also the E4300 and E6300 perform almost similarly so get the cheaper of the two. But I would recommend this RAM since it has a lower latency and costs only around $6 more. It is worth the extra performance boost though.

Thats a steal on that RAM, I payed 170$ for mine which was a good deal, but its DDR2667 Cas4 but I read some reviews and it overclocks like hell so im comfortable with my RAM.
Se here- http://images.anandtech.com/reviews/...amchart-lg.png DDR2-940 at 5-5-5-15@2.2V Last edited by F1N3ST; 02-05-2007 at 10:12 AM.. |

First off, Thank you!
F1N3ST I did all of your suggestions, since obviously you like to overclock, I know that you know what your talking about. I just made the order today and thanks to you both, hopefully my computer will be beastly! Good day mates!

Stay away form Aspire(Aptiva) and Rosewill. Rosewill is better but you can never be sure what you will get, they are not always the same. FSP is my favorite for PSU's. It's very sad to see the PSU blow a whole rig.

Hmm yeah but the Rosewill seems to be quite good. Has 19A on both +12V rails so it seems pretty beefy for that system.

Rosewill has made it to the avoid list for putting their name on some bad PSUs. The biggest problems is that the same model may be made by more than one manufacture with out any notice in the specs. There are only a few that actually make power supplies, the others just stick their names on them. Quote:

That is a big list though, friend. It's hard to trust that over 20 companies fail at powersupplies...

As long as it has overvoltage protection I wouldnt worry.
I was going to get this If i ever got a good card, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814999001 kinda high but I would do it If i had the money, I suspect it has a fuse in there that blows if it gets too many volts. Sorry I forgot to tell you but you also NEED arctic silver 5 so your processor will run cooler, It is like an automatic tempature drop of 5C http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835100007 3x Winner of Customer Choice Award - CPU Thermal Paste / Grease And I would like to point out thermaltake has GREAT PSU's, especially the toughpower series.

Thank you Mirob and Finest,
Mirob I appreciate your concern, but I already placed in the order, hopefully the gamble will come up heads. Finest, do I REALLY need that stuff? And what do I do with it if I get it, I hardly understand what that stuff does? |

Yeah, it's just that like if a PSU blows, it could take other parts with it. Not always, but sometimes. The PSU is pretty important as no other components could function w/o it, so it's gotta be good cuz it supports them. If you do get another one, I'd recommend an Antec.

No you dont need the power protector, but the thermal grease would be a good thing for lower tempatures especially if you bought that heatsink. And Rosewill is neweggs part company, it is indeed someone elses PSU, with their sticker on it, but it has overvoltage protection, and great specifications. So do not worry about it, my case PSU is still holding strong with only 18A XION built.

Good (read reliable and safe a.k.a. ones-that-don't-turn-your-computer-into-a-very-expensive-paperweight-when-they-blow!) PSU brands include Thermaltake, CoolerMaster, Enermax, Fortron FSP, Seasonic, PC Power & Cooling, Zalman, Superflower and Nexus. But the above are a bit on the expensive side. Reliable and economically priced PSUs are made by Fortron FSP, CoolerMaster, Enermax, Sparkle, AHANIX, Antec and Rosewill (the latter being Newegg's in-house brand).
