Hey guys,
I've been reading the forums for some time now and now it is time to build my system.
I was wondering if you guys could give me some advice on the components I have bought and maybe some suggestions?
My first big question is that I have a 550w PSU and I was wondering if it would be enough to run the following build, here goes . . .
AMD Phenom II X4 965 BE
ASUS M4A79XTD EVO Motherboard
Kingston 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 1600MHz/PC3-12800 HyperX Memory Kit CL9 + Kingston Hyperx Memory Cooling Fan
550w PSU
SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 4730 512mb
Samsung HD103SJ Spinpoint F3 1TB Hard Drive SATAII 7200rpm 32MB Cache
Maxtor 250GB SATAII
Another 250GB IDE Hard drive
LG DVD/RW optical drive
Casecom Black Mid Tower Case - Front Blue LED 120mm Fan - With Side Window + rear 80mm fan
Well thats it. Any advice for a first time builder would be amazing. I have put PC's together before so know where everything goes etc, but this is my first attempt to 'pimp out my PC'.
My case comes Monday so I can't wait to get started. If the memory hasn't come by monday I might powder spray the interior of the case black to match the exterior.
Any way, thanks in advance for the suggestions.
