good mobo, hdd

great price on gpu

the psu imo is overkill, but never bad to be safe than sorry

good ram, case, cpu fan

looks like you are good to go, nice research done

id say A+

chnge the manufacturer of the GPU- i would go with XFX or EVGA most of all, other than that ur good to go ")

twolves90 · 10-16-2007, 07:59 AM

yeah I was gonna say that I wouldnt trust MSI, but I guess thats the price difference. However even if the eVGA one is 60 bucks more, it really is worth it for the quality difference

Ram is overpriced IMHO, if i were you i would go for the corsair XMS2 c4, if you want the antec 900 here 's a site

You may want to get a S-ATA HDD, not an IDE one as you have posted.
