Alright I am going to MicroCenter, tomorrow, to buy an 8800Gt, 2gb ram, and a PSU. I went to a Tigerdirect store, and they were more expensive.

Thanks.
Is there another cooler that doesnt need to be mounted on the back of my motherboard?


Thanks.

This cooler is actually quite easy to put on, but you do have to remove the motherboard... The reviews on NewEgg are from a bunch of physics incompetent morons.

 

[g4m3rof1337]

Alright thanks.


I have to check the site to see if they sell GT's in store, I am sure they do.

Where is the tigerdirect store?

Where is the tigerdirect store?

Either online or a warehouse...

 

[g4m3rof1337]

It was a warehouse/store. Whats the equivalent to the 8800GT?

im curious as to where the store you went to is

I am not in Florida.

I am buying the HD 3870 by the way, not sure if I need a new PSU.

How much room should I have in my case?


Heres the Ram I am looking at.

What looks nice?



Thanks.

 

[Ramodkk]

The first one seems great to me

 

[g4m3rof1337]

Alright.
I want to walk in with a list, so if ones out, I can get the other.

New Power Supply needed?


And for a HSF, anything Zalman or CoolerMaster, cant go wrong?


Thanks.

either this ram http://microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0245600 or this http://microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0242908

 

[Ramodkk]

Well, Im also getting the HD3870 but Im sticking with my Rosewill 500W (which is fairly cheap) for now. I don't know how good Ultra's are but if you want to overclock you might want to get something else.

I would also consider Jabes's second memory choice /\

 

[Jabes]

I would get this psu http://microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0245606

 

[Ramodkk]

What makes Corsair HX series so good?

I'm thinking on getting one...

 

[g4m3rof1337]

You sure 520watts?

 

[Jabes]

You sure 520watts?

yea I think so thats wat intelcrazy recomended to

 

[g4m3rof1337]

Alright.


I'll check it out tomorrow.

Anything else I should consider?


Thanks.

 

[g4m3rof1337]

Alright, well last night I purchased the HD 3870 online, through MicroCenter, and I would pick it up in store next day, so today was the day, and they had a power outage, so, I have to wait till tomorrow.

 

[g4m3rof1337]

Alright.
I ended up getting the 8800GT, since they didn't have the HD 3870, and it was only online, and not in the store. I also ended up with a 700watt modular Raidmax Power Supply , and 4gb OCZ Ram, and an OCZ Vendetta CPU Cooler, with AS5.


Going to install soon.

 

[Kesava]

Alright.
