Motherboard is wrong, PSU is wrong, CPU is wrong, Memory is wrong. A micro ATX motherboard is just going to cause problems. If you want to overclock(you had better... seriously, there ain't no other way), they're not very good for it, and the size just puts all your shit too close together, and will cause overheating. Go for a standard ATX mobo. Never ever ever ever ever use a case PSU unless you'd like a large explosion. The PSU is the one part of your rig you should not fucking cheap out on. It decides whether you're stable or not, whether your shit gets decimated or not, and all that stuff. Please, for a rig like that, get a nice PSU. If you insist on going AMD(you should probably go Intel right now, but I'm a stubborn AMD fanboy too, so I don't blame you). Okay nevermind. I was going to suggest an Opteron instead, but then I realized I've been out of the game for a while. I see some people are getting some very good overclocks with this CPU, and it's a nice price. Good choice. Mushkin memory is made to need a ton of voltage in order to reach high speeds and keep tight timings. Unless you're using a DFI motherboard, and you know what you're doing(two things you seem to lack), you won't fair very well with Mushkin. I'd suggest you go G.SKILL, Geil, OCZ, or perhaps Corsair, for the memory. Let me know if you need any help, Nostie. |

Corsair is nice somtimes the motherboards don't have the right slots so make sure yours does. the g15 is a good keyboard but somtimes the usb ports get buggy so only use one instead of both. Also don't forget about the mouse and monitor if you get a nice computer don't be cheap on your monitor either. | ||

Since games with DirectX10 video cards and games that require bad-ass rigs are coming out, you shouldn't hold back when buying if you plan to be a gamer for a couple more years. I saw you said around 2k in another post, that is more that enough to get you a pretty sick computer. -[link]- (Scroll down and click on forums) go there and make a post and they will pick out the parts for you Edited Thu Jun 28 2007, 07:37PM | ||
