how do we feel about this set up?
so im building a new computer finally, mine is about to shit the bed. but i was just hoping you guys would look over everything i bought and tell me what you think. make sure i didnt make any mistakes, and if there is anything that i should replace due to better units at similar pricing is out there. the main use is going to be for gaming, but it will be a working machine as well. thanks for looking

PS - Quick question about the speakers. i currently have the Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 set up, since the sound card can handle 7.1 do you think i would be able to hook up both the Promedia 2.1 along with the ProMedia Ultra 5.1? Use the 2.1 set up as an extra sub and speakers 6 and 7. Last edited by gmen5681; 07-10-2006 at 02:26 PM. |

It looks great, except I would recommend going with socket AM2 instead of 939. Price will be about the same, more or less. Good luck with your build.
