Hello, allright, my in game name is Hive | s!n I play on your server a l ot. I need some help. Im gettin a bunch of new stuff and basically redoing my computer. I need help on knowing if the following stuff is good, I REALLY need to know if it is compatible. Kenshin helped me pick it all out and he said it was some of the best. But im willing to go maybe a hundred more dollars if there is something a little better for a little bit more money. But here is what i got in my shopping cart so far.

My case

My Motherboard
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813123246

My Videocard

My Processor

Memory

and I need help on trying to find a good power supply, preferably 600 wats or more, from newegg.com. Can you guys please help me out, and tell me if all this is compatible, and a good purchase?I dont wan to have to send it back. Or a month down the road say to myself. I wish i got that instead. Thanks for your time fellers.

600W power supply is a little overkill.. 500 or 550 is all u need..


also, for the ram, get some better quality, it is worth the price.
for 100 bucks you can get corsair XMS which is way better.

it says 24-pin

my motherboard says 24-pin, so im guessing that it will work?

I'm not a technical expert, but your motherboard says it requires a "24+4" pin power supply, which this states is simply a "24" pin. I dont think they're going to be compatible.. Try searching through Newegg by powersupply -> 501-600W -> 24+4 pin. That will bring up a list of power supplies compatible with your mobo.

not bad for as much as your paying but i still would recomend getting the 7800GTX instead of GT

GTX really isn't that much better considering the price. 24 ppiplines instead of 20, u can OC the GT to the same core clock at the GTX.... quite a bit more money, i dont think it's worth it.

a gig is good enough for practically all games on market right now but probably soon there will be more demanding games that require a higher amount of RAM

You should get a 7800 card, but those are somewhat pricey, good card for what it's price is those.

no u idiot the 7900 does not preform better the only advantage that card has is that it can run games in HD (high definition) no difference in specs then the 7800 loser. KNOW UR FACTS BEFORE U RUN UR MOUTH PLEASE
