Help with my new computer

GutsyGod · Nov 25, 2006

hey guys im new to all this computer stuff so im kinda inexperienced but i want to build a new computer because i got alot of the stuff on black friday. My friends are going to help me out but i want some more input from this website too. the stuff i either have or have planned are as follows:

Ultra ATX Mid-Tower case
Ultra X-Finity 500w Power Supply
MSI 945P Neo3-F Socket T Intel 945P ATX
Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 Conroe 1.86GHz
CORSAIR ValueSelect 1GB (2 x 512MB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 667
ATI 100-437510 Radeon X1600PRO 512MB
Thermaltake CL-P0257 Blue orb II CPU Cooler

let me know if there are any compatibility issues or if im getting something thats horrible. this is a budget computer so not everythings as good as it should be

Does that motherboard support that cpu? I cant remember if 945's do or not. Everything else looks pretty good for a basic gaming comp.

get a x1600xt/x1650pro/x1650xt instead of that one

the x1650xt is the best, the x1650pro and x1600xt are basically the same, the x1600pro is the worse

you can flash to xt im sure... i saved a butt load on a x850xt by buying a pro.

The performance of the X1300XT is very similar to that of a X1650 PRO, so personally I'd go for that (depends on the price difference between the two).
