custom comp

[fishking]

is getting a 500 watt power supply over doing it or is it ok,

 

[pwnag3!!]

depends on what brand it is.... I have a 500w but i have a ton of auxilary stuff
should be ok for basic stuff....
what specs on your new comp?

 

[autopilot]

Get a good brand PSU. That 500watts might not mean much if its a cheap PSU otherwise 500 should be plenty I personally have a 480watt PSU and it seems to be more than enough.

 

[fishking]

i might just get the 500 so just incase in the future i get more stuff i wont have to worry abouy the power supply

 

[fishking]

as long as you buy compatible parts I don't see how you could mess up the install. Its pretty much plug and play when it comes to building a pc.
I would also suggest getting 2x512mb or 1x512 and getting another 512 later if you don't want to spend the extra money.
The 3400+ I believe are only socket 754 he should probably go with something socket 939 since its newer and is replacing the 754. I should say get a PCI E 6600GT.

 

[pwnag3!!]

i thought pci e was only for intel stuff....
i havent read up on it much

 

[fishking]

does this comp look any good for its price

Maybe amd pcie boards aren't out yet. I thought they were, if they are not they should be soon. I know the nforce4s will have PCIE and support SLI. I have a 754 dfi board myself I kept hearing about PCIE for amd so I figured they'd be out by now.

 

[pwnag3!!]

no i just thought they were solo for intel stuff....
yeah nforce 4 is gonna be tha ----!
ill wait for it though lol
