Building new computer need help

[s_chab87]

hey there,

im looking forward to build a new pc.This is gonna be my first time so I need a little advice. Here is what I plan buying.

e6600 cpu
geforce 7950 or in that price range(256 or 512)?
2gb ddr2 with good speed (but what is a good speed hmm)
a power supply, have no idea which to buy
a case and motherboard that will fit together, but how do i know if they do fit ?
some dvd reader
some hard drive 7200, 10000 rpm ?
sound card?

Aside from all this is there anything i need to know about compatibility?
And i saw in another thread some guy that had a power supply for his video card only ??!?

big thanks for reading

Is there a compelling reason not to buy a complete system instead? Just curious.

You save hundreds if not thousands of dollars building your own computer. The computer companies rip people off.

Try these
Motherboard
This is a really good one.

Casing + Power Supply
This is a cool-looking one and takes care of both the casing and the PSU. The PSU is of very high-quality so don't worry about that.

RAM to go with the mobo above
This RAM is of high-quality and offers excellent performance too.

Hard Drives
Get this one and this one.

DVD Burner
This DVD burner has very fast reading times and is a good-quality cheap product.

Sound Card
This is the best good-quality, inexpensive sound card I found. A similar Creative card would cost around 8-10 times as much.

Video Card
This is the best factory OC'd 7950GT I could find.

Monitor (if u need one)
This monitor has a blazing fast response time and the rebate makes for icing on
the cake.

All the above components are 100% compatible with each other. I assume u know where to get an E6600 so I haven't given the link. Just for reference, here it is. Good luck!:grinthumb
P.S.->A video card PSU is not absolutely necessary but is available.

whats the fun in that?


Im going to build a similar PC .. for GFX going with 7600GT (SLi maybe) and wait for the 8 series GPUs on a Abit AW9D-MAX mobo .. I like the idea of switching SLI or Crossfire.
