Compatibility and Agility?

[joeswm8]

Could someone just quickly take the time to look over this and tell me if this is all compatible within and throughout? This is my only fear that I will make a mistake; incompatibility.

How does this build look, any comments?
Is it all compatible?
Am I missing any parts at all to make this new PC?
Suggestions to make it better than it is?

The power supply is overkill and I would suggest you down grade you C2D one model and use the money from a cheaper PSU and C2D and get a better GPU, such as the 7900GT or GTX or 1900XT or XTX.

For PSU's, an Antec is your best bet to be honest, I would also ensure your motherboard is compatible with all yoru choosen componets.

How is the PSU overkill? I am looking to upgrade in the future, and I want this computer to be as upgradable as possible. I also want the most performance and to keep all the parts safe.

The PSU is significantly more than you need for your rig as it is, but if you intend to upgrade to DX10 video card(s), it's a good choice. Unfortunate timing that the $50 rebate expired less than a week ago . TBH, i'd favor the GameXStream 700W over any of Antec's units.

If it's intended mainly for gaming, your video card is the weakest component.

IM STUCK ON THE GPU

there are too many, and i want to spend under 200 on it, which leaves me only with this new choice I found that is upgraded and faster 7900GS:

XFX PVT71PUDP3 GeForce 7900GS 256MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Video Card EXTREME---$185.99 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814150202

It looks really good for my purposes, any other GPU suggestions sub $200?

 

[maroon1]

Yea go with 7900GS Extreme

I think it is the best video card for under $200

 

[joeswm8]

yeah i thought it looked pretty nice
