Almost identical to my comp, I know that everything in mine now works nice. That asus mobo is what I got in mine now and its a corker.

Power supply for that setup will need to be at least 500w, Ive got a 650w psu, dont go for cheap ones as they can be unreliable and damage your comp.

im thinkong that cause im building it meself it will be easier to upgrade and fit a second GPU etc in the future, and its 2.5K cheaper than the last one



EDIT: looking at other websites to compare prices i ame acros this


Dell XPS 600

lol dell

Sadly they are getting their act together these days..

Dell do seem to be getting there act together, but they are still pricey for what they give.
plus they make most of there own components or rebrand them, so im not sure how much i would trust a Dell 7800.

But maybe thats just me rememering the shite they dished out in the past.

I've got to say even the price is quite good, mate of mine at uni wanted a PC "for work" aka filesharing and even building it from parts with Linux we couldn't match the $350 machine he got in the end..

ok, one last dilemma, monitor

the first one is slightly cheaper, but the price doesnt bother me too much. the second one has a higher resolution than the first.

teh first has a lower refresh rate...

which is better to have?

high res or low refresh?

which one to buy?

rofl - i like it

go for repsonse time.. the quicker the response the better.

thanks shad, but i found an even better one 6ms response!!!
