new rig

[apbrit2009]

I'm getting my paycheck (finally) at the end of august, and I'm building a better rig
will this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817341016 power a phenom 2 955, 6gb ddr3, HIS 4890 turbo, western digital 500 gb SATA, Jetway 790 GX, 2x 120mm case fans?

Pretty sweet. Gonna do anything interesting with the case it's going in? Also, i gotta say...only a 500GB?? Really? Do yourself a favor and grab a 1TB instead, it won't cost much more and I promise you'll end up using the space at some point

get 2 500's over 1x 1tb. why risk loosing it all in 1 shot. also who the hell wants to formant anything above 500gb....

i would go for a 650watt or 700watt Corsair psu. i like them the most. but yours is fine (brand wise). i think the 500 would run it, but if you start to overclock i don't know how it would fair.



check out this psu calc.

1. probably a couple decals, lights and if i get a windowless case then a window
2.I want to spend more money on other components now, because by the time i need the extra space i'll have enough money to add another hard drive

also, if i can sell my laptop i may get an 850 watt psu instead

decided on case, it's going to be the x-clio

If you haven't already decided on the Jetway board, it certainly wouldn't be my first choice.

The rest of it looks sweet, though.
