uumm.... i would go for an AMD CPU... and maybe a 550W PSU.

What drives will you be running in it?

What cards???

 

[jimkonow]

sorry, im going intel
benchmarks, mate. benchmarks...

430 watts will do for 2x DVD drives and one HDD.

im just throwing in a 2600XT with 256MB GDDR4

OK, well it looks good then... hhmm the PSU might need an upgrade having 2 DVD drive, hard drive, video card and the rest... hhhmmmm.....

Try this PSU - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817148027 - Same Price as the other just more WATTS.

im running the system in my sig on a 350 watt PSU...why isnt a 430watt PSU good enough?

OK... that will be fine then.

 

[jimkonow]

thanks

come on, noone else wants to chip in on this?

 

[Cleric7x9]

why dont you just use pc6400 ram? its less expensive and that CPU wont need such fast RAM anyway

 

[Vizy]

NOooo not Apevia...

And that Thermaltake looks particularly weak. I would try to pick up a Earth Watt 430 watt PSU, it's a much more capable unit.

 

[jimkonow]

my price range for the PSU is around 40 bucks
