Help I'm suffering from Analysis Paralysis !
I'm getting a new pc and after starting to check into the ins & outs of various components I feel further from a final decision than when I started. Thanks to input from some here I know that I should pay attention to my case PSU +12V rail Amps (over 24A or 2 rails) and have decided to settle for a low end GPU till I get into gaming (7600GS). But what about motherboards, mem, etc ?
I'm in Japan and a net shop "Faith" has reasonably good deals but don't give much discount for downgrading from the latest GPU 7950GT, etc. They use Asus m/boards, etc. Not being a gamer yet is it likely that I'd be worse off for using a cheaper board ? Same question for RAM mem, of course Corsair and the likes are best but I don't think I can justify paying the extra when perhaps I wouldn't notice any diff ?
Any views ?
