Anyone else building a computer soon? Im bored :D

[MrBlah]

Are all 1.1 to 1.2KW psus with 17-20 amps per 12v rail.[/quote]

Each and everyone of those is not a quality PSU, not an Enermax, not an Antec, not a Thermaltake, not a good PSU to pick up. I have a 1000W Thermaltake PSU

And Blown, for a motherboard, with WiFi... look at this Asus

Ya, but I'm not going to spend the extra on DDR3 Ram. Better off spending it on other parts IMO for the small increase you get for the huge price difference over DDR2

This is the board I was thinking of.

Man those power requirements for the nvidia cards are crazy.

[Blown65]

The powersupplies are for combined though, you guys are looking at it wrong.

The first one was 100amp, that second says 84 amp. Right from nvidia on the Ultra card it says it needs 34 Combined amps.

Each one is rated at 20 or 36, but if you use all combined it cant exceed the 100 or 84.

My friend ask me to build a computer for him... That is what i'm thinking buying him!! (BTW, he doesnt want to spend more than 1200$)

that looks good.

That power supply is overkill though. The 520 watt model would do fine, and it would still have room for upgrades.

And that hard drive is IDE, you want SATA.

Also you didnt include a DVD drive.

I checked and it is a SATA drive... I think!!! Dunno why they have written IDE in the de.scription!!! That is actually very confusing!!!

For me, it seems to be a SATA drive... Look at the link!!!

hard drive (clicky)

Am I right!!!? I must admit that I dunno a lot about hard drive... I'm better about CPU and GPU!!!

And for the optical drive, he will keep the one that he has in his present computer!!!

[MrBlah]

if anyone needs help with overclocking too im sure i can help in some way shape or form. Just drop me a line.

[Blown65]

ya, I plan to OC, since I have done it on all my prior machines. heh

[MrBlah]

in reality, OCing is the true way to get performance out of a computer. Save ur self some money, OC and you will get the same performance really.... it can increase the longevity in some ways too.

[YevGenie]

What the hell is OC'ing anyway? I have never done it...*shrug*

[MrBlah]

OverClocking increasing the clock speeds of ur equipment beyond the stock settings
