the power supply on that case isnt good. it only has 18A on the 12V and you want something 30A or above.

I think I might get a single core 3700+ because it has better performance in gaming are which is pretty muchall I will be doing. Then I can get a sick keyboard, mouse, and speaker. What do you think.

I think I will stick with the 3800+ X2 and get some nice acessories later. I think I am gonna do one more revision and it should be good.The only thing is that power supply. I read that stick on PSUs but I am still not sure.. I need one for less than 50.

After reading that article I learned some stuff. I think this PSU will suit my need. So what is a good case at Newegg for the 50-70 doallar range.

Well the PSU that came with the case would also be fine...but if you want to buy another PSU...

Could you guys show me some good cables.

For the most part, cabling doesnt matter all that much

I think I might get a single core 3700+ because it has better performance in gaming are which is pretty muchall I will be doing.

I wouldnt. But that depends on what games you're playing I guess

Much better choice and it will play games much better than the single core very soon.

Change "very soon" to "selectively now" :)

I read that stick on PSUs but I am still not sure.. I need one for less than 50.
Click to expand...
Well, in that very sticky you read, there is a reccomendations section ;)

Get a nice thermaltake 480watt,

I am so confused. My friend has a 1600gt, 3500+, and 1gb os shity ram and he plays BF2 graet. All highest settings, includng aa and af with zero lag. Plus his fps is usually around 60.Plus it looks better than my other friends alienware (i am not sure what he has in it though).
