IEatHardDrives Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Everythings good but the graphics card is an ATI card the north bridge of the motherboard is a NVIDIA nForce4 it would be better to get a nvidia graphics card but i guess an ATI card would be ok.

Ham Blowfist Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 That mobo needs a 24 pin PSU. The one in that case is almost certainly a cheap 420 Watt 20 pin. You can get adapters, but its generally considered a bad idea. Get a good ATX 12V 2.0 PSU. (Antec maybe)You could also spend more on the RAM and get CAS 2.0 instead of 2.5but that won't make a big difference.Other than that it looks pretty sweet to me.Killer GPU and CPU.

Mx² Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 (edited) Looks like a winner to me.And yes I would recommend buying a new PSU becuase the ones that come with cases are typically terrible. Edited August 30, 2005 by Mx² Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I already have a good PSU to put it in it, so no worries. I'll make sure its a 24-pin, otherwise, I'll just buy an adapter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spazmich Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 (edited) The RAM's pretty cheap, but ohterwise not bad. And it won't matter that the mobo chipset is nVidia but the VC is ATI.. Edited August 30, 2005 by spazmich Quote Link to post Share on other sites
