Well, after months of buggering about I need to get this new computer built. I've swung from core2quad, to i7, and now I'm settling on the i5.
The computer's solely going to be an audio recording one, so the new architecture of the i5 vs the core2quad, along with the very similar price sold it. I've also heard it's superior to the i7 in the latency stakes; how much of that is true I've no idea.
Anyways, this http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Giga...PCI-E-20-DDR3-2200-SATA-6Gb-s-RAID-USB-30-ATX seems to have a decent array of gizmos, lacking only firewire (why on earth did that lose to usb?!), but I'm concerned about what power supply will be compatible. I haven't built a computer in years, and I'm pretty sure my previous builds were centered around luck than planning; what power supply (500 + watts, not expensive) would be good? I see the m/board states "1 x 24pin(V) 1 x 8pin(V)" for power - are all power supplies just gonna plug in an go? Please save me certain arse up.
Appreciate any responses for the most useless computer enthusiast on this forum.
cheers
