i would seriously get 2gb of ram ( 2x1gb )

 

[bradyfan123]

also need any recommendations for Nvidia graphics cards..i dont wana spend more then $300 on a graphics card

 

[AdmnPower]

that power supply looks fine, and all i can say is i wish i had the money to buy that thing, it's gonna be awesome

 

[AdmnPower]

why not ATI?

 

[bradyfan123]

oh.. for the memory? 2gb is better? right now I'm not sure how much i wana spend on power supply

 

[bradyfan123]

oh because i selected a nvidia motherboard..those are stil compatible with ati?..plus i have an ati 9250..i kno that one sucks but it wasnt too good :-/..thats y i wanted to try nvidia lol

 

[AdmnPower]

more memory is always better, and on the power supply just get one that has lots of good ratings and 2 fans
shouldn't have to cost a fortune

Start with Praetors $1700 build, try building it up from there. But keep in mind that:

Bigger Budget?
Realistically after this point I'm essentially looking to spend money and it's not really for a few more budget steps that I can direct the system to a more balanced state (i.e., add a RAID5 infrastructure as well as upgrade the memory and then processor/motherboard)

[AdmnPower]

ya i guess i went from a crappy geforce 2 to an ATI so thats why i like ati Lol but yea ATI should work just fine with your motherboard, it's all the same port

 

[34erd]

If you've got a $2500 budget, why dont you want to spend more than $300 on a video card?

 

[AdmnPower]

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814102582

that is a card i'd like to have

 

[bradyfan123]

is this a good power supply?
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817148027

i dont wana spend 2 much on a power supply..but its good to have a backup

and flush you think this is a better for memory

[AdmnPower]

that PSU looks fine

 

[34erd]

Bradyfan,
If you want to spend $2500, you can get parts that are alot better than your choosing. Take a look at praetors computer specs 101 for a starting point.

 

[bradyfan123]

also based on your experience i think lol IS PUTTING THESE PARTS TOGETHER EASY?..I HOPE IT IS BECAUSE I HATE TO HAVE TO STARE AT A BUNCH OF COMPUTER PARTS WONDERING HOW TO CONNECT THEM TO ONE ANOTHER
