Hi!
I'm planning to build a computer with the following components:
In-Win Fanqua Midi Tower
Case:Corsair CX 400W PSU
Processor:Intel Core™ i5 Quad Processor i5-750 2,66GHz, Socket LGA1156
Motherboard:Gigabyte GA-P55-USB3, P55, Socket-1156
RAM:Crucial DDR3 1066MHz 4GB KIT
GPU:Gainward GeForce GT240 1GB PhysX CUDA
Harddrive:Samsung SpinPoint F3 500GB
DVD driver:Sony NEC Optiarc DVD±RW burner AD-7240S
Screen:BenQ 21,5" LCD T2210HDA

What do you think? Is the power supply good enough? I'm not sure if I'm going to buy the Logitech MX518 Optical Mouse or the Deathadder, wich one is the best in your opinion?.:confused:

Whats it for??? If gaming then i would try and spend a little more on the video card.

If not gaming then i would go with a cheaper i5 processor (clarkdale one).

Its not too bad though it would do just fine in gaming or not gaming.

Either way i would spend more on the power supply.

Silver Power SP-SS500 500W PSU

It's going to be a gaming/music making computer so the processor is really important for all the plugins, and the GPU is pretty good 1GB GDDR5 550mhz. Thanx for the reply!:D
 
PSU - consair produce good PSU. Haven't heard of Silver Power, any other option?
Video card - GT 240 usually not worth the money. Which country are you from?

Sweden, so I'm ordering fromhttp://www.komplett.se. the silver power PSU got 5/5 from customer reviews, X value awards from xsreviews.co.uk, and 7.5 from tweakup. What GPU do you recommend around 1k SEK, aprox. 125 USD? My budget is kinda tight, it can't cost more than or at least around 9k SEK=1,128 USD.:)
 
Ok looked around a while and decided to rasie the budget to 10k SEK=1,252.34 USD.

Here's the setup:
Case:In-Win Fanqua Midi Tower
PSU:Corsair VX 550W PSU
Processor:Intel Core™ i5 Quad Processor i5-750 2,66GHz, Socket LGA1156
Motherboard:Gigabyte GA-P55-USB3, P55, Socket-1156
RAM:Crucial DDR3 1066MHz 4GB KIT
GPU:MSI Radeon HD 5770 1GB GDDR5 "HAWK"
Harddrive:Samsung SpinPoint F3 500GB
DVD driver:Sony NEC Optiarc DVD±RW burner AD-7240S
Screen:BenQ 21,5" LCD T2210HDA

No money left for the Deathadder then I suppose :( The superb GPU is a big:D though
