Looks ok I guess you already have os and screen? And OEM drives will need sata cables if you don't have some already.

 

[lc_124]

ok ty I will look for cable. I already have the monitor and OS

 

[lc_124]

Do you think i can run this with the stock power supplie that come with my case(450w)

 

[bengal85]

Do you think i can run this with the stock power supplie that come with my case(450w)

Usually the PSUs that come with cases are not very good quality. I think your going to need to get a CPU heat sink, because it says a heat sink is not included. Sata cables usually come with your motherboard. And consider getting a ATI 4850 instead of the 9800 it will run a lot better.

 

[lc_124]

ok I will look for an ati 4850 but do you think this power supplies will be enough
Power Up / 550-Watt / ATX / 120mm Fan / SATA-Ready / Power Supply

[just a noob]

go for something like brand name: http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3276574&CatId=1079 power supply is one thing you don't want to cheap out on, another member here had a cheapo psu blow up, and take 400 dollars worth of parts with it

500 is plenty to run the 4850. you can always jump a 2nd psu to run all your fans, hard drives,and cd-rom.

i did this to a buddy's computer running the 4870 and hes got only 400psu. so we got a 300wat psu jumped it to free up case psu and now hes increases in performance major.

you can do it this way or go higher. 500 will be plenty.

Here's a list of good and bad PSU manufacturers.

And 500 should be fine for you.
