What are using the computer for??? Looks like a pretty good gaming computer...

ThatGuy16 · 07-28-2007, 03:24 AM

Looks good, what OS are you going to use? i have that psu, the thing has more that enough cables

The only suggestion i would have is maybe Corsair XMS2 ram, but Patriot is great ram too

I plan on using Vista premium 64bit, guess i didn't take that into consideration yet, hoping to get it at a decent price, maybe $130 or so. Is there really a big difference between the 32bit and the 64 bit? besides the whole 4 gig of ram issue?

I think i'll stick with patriot for now, corsair ram is my next choice, but the rebate got me...hope it doesn't end up giving me trouble.

EDIT Oh and yeah, this will be a pure gaming computer/semi family computer >.>!

Everything else seems fine?

EDIT Just found this screen that i might replace the samsung with, its around the same price --> http://www.canadacomputers.com/index...085&cid=MT.282

ThatGuy16 · 07-28-2007, 03:45 AM

Not realy, but you would want to go with 64bit..and the OEM version is $114 on newegg

jutnm · 07-28-2007, 03:45 AM

not much big dif really between 32 and 64, 32 has more drivers but there coming out with more drivers for 64

I've always seen nice deals on Newegg, do they ship to Canada?

Unfortunately not.

Everything on your build looks pretty good. Personally I'd rather have G.Skill or Corsair memory, but with the rebate on the Patriot, you can't quite beat it!

Enjoy, and if you have any questions, we'd be glad to help. I'm sure that it will be more than enough computer for your needs

Thanks for the positive input! due to popular demand of corsair, i managed to find these http://www.pcvonline.com/productDetails.aspx?id=5711
they are around the same price, so i'll just buy them instead.
