Help on building new computer!

Mayoboy · 05-27-2007, 05:33 AM

Hey I am pretty new to computer building and I am just wanting some comments or changes to the build I am thinking of. O yeah I am starting from scratch so if I forget something please tell me.

CD/DVD- LITE-ON 20X DVD±R DVD Burner With 12X DVD-RAM Write Black SATA Model LH-20A1S

Case- APEVIA X-CRUISER-BK Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Hard Drive- HITACHI Deskstar T7K250 HDT722525DLA380 (0A31636) 250GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s (I am getting two so I can raid)

Monitor- ViewSonic Value Series VA1903wb Black 19" 8ms Widescreen LCD Monitor

Speakers- Logitech X-230 32 Watts 2.1 Black Speakers

Memory- CORSAIR XMS2 DOMINATOR 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model TWIN2X2048-6400C4D

Motherboard- GIGABYTE GA-965P-S3 LGA 775 Intel P965 Express ATX Intel Motherboard

Processor- Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 Conroe 2.4GHz LGA 775 Processor Model BX80557E6600

Video Card- EVGA 320-P2-N811-AR GeForce 8800GTS 320MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Video Card

Power Supply- Rosewill RX750-S-B 750W SLI Ready,Four +12V Rails Power Supply

Anything would help right now. I am a little shaky on the motherboard, but it seems good. Yet again I am new at this so don't be shy and say "That was a stupid setup" or something like that, because that would help a lot. This is all from newegg and it is $1,374.81.

P.S. This computer is for gaming so tell me if it would work for gaming.

Thanks

I would change that monitor for this one which has a lower ms for the same price and you get the rebate instantly

I think you'd be safer going with this powersupply http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817104015
I haven't heard the best of things about Rosewill. Even though your losing 50watts you should be perfectly fine!

Hey guys! Thanks for the suggestions. I am goin to change to what you guys suggested. It even lowered the final price $16!
