    Default AmEv's list of needs

    Let's just say, frying my AGP slot put me back a bit.

    Which lets me move forward to new tech.

    ModCron:
    ATX MoBo
    PSU
    CPU/RAM
    New Windoze license

    Macs:
    2*mITX MoBos, 1*mATX MoBo
    2*PSUs
    Lotso RAM
    HDDs all around, 6 total for one of 'em (and two more caddies)
    CPU/RAM

    HaXBOX 360:
    mITX MoBo
    Way to adapt 360 PSU to ATX PSU
    CPU/RAM
    HDD

    VCRPuter:
    mITX MoBo
    CPU/RAM
    2.5" HDD



    (Man, sponsorship sounds really nice right now......)

    OK, would this be good for upgrade for ModCron?

    Well, I think I edited it after everyone saw it.

    Is this list good? The heaviest game I'm playing is AoEIII.

    And might be getting a few Steam games.....

    That's a big PSU for not much hardware.

    OK.

    I'm not sure how much my 10-year-old 300W could pull.

    What should I get?
    I do want 2 cards; I'm not 100% sure on my budget right now.

    Still. I want something nice, but not too nice.

    Go 100 to 150W higher than what the calculator says for expandability.

    I use 2 just to make sure the calculation is correct.

    might as well go quad core for $ 20 more

    And a single 5770 or 460 786 would give you more power and be cheaper than the 9500's

    and this mobo would be a little better if you can fit it in

    Thanks, Diluzo.
    It's an ATX case; a huge ATX at that!

    One thing I see as problematic: That CPU is OEM.

    I do want to do at least a dual card thing, though. What specifically should I get?
