if i may make a small substitution - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820104097

use the money you saved to buy a case of brewskies

4 gigs of R.A.M. will not be seen on 32 bit Vista. Great mobo and power supply, killer video card and a better c.p.u then I can afford. Decent R.A.M. but you could have dropped down to ddr2 800 and not seen any difference.

fury · « **Reply #7 on:** February 15, 2009, 04:34:23 AM »

i prefer corsair..besides,theyr 59 bucks after the rebate

I actually waited a few hours before purchasing for your input because this is the first time I am building my own and I'm not to sure what I am doing. I guess I know next time. I am spending inheritance money, otherwise I couldn't afford this shit either.

Yea, I was thinking about it, but after the rebate it is only 59.99 as fury said. The timing is better too. Plus, corsair is the shit. =P. I can't buy a case of brewskies either.

Rambo you should get a PSU from pc cooling & power. I know they dont look cool, BUT they do not use cheap parts. Because all it takes is a power supply that is made cheaply to fail and wreck 1 grand of your hardware.
Just my .02 cents

this is true what trooper j is saying, but i doubt that would happen. what you really just have to be concerned about is power surges

Just get a surge protector at Kmart/target/walmart and you should be fine...

Yes, I'll send you a game that I never purchased because my system couldn't handle it, but now that I have a good one on the way, I will. NO. NWP is getting Farcry 2 and COD WAW free.

Rambo, I just installed the same motherboard, and RAM. I'm surprised you didn't go with the Core 2 Quad CPU. Don't use the stock CPU cooler, they're crap.

RAMBO · « **Reply #20 on:** February 16, 2009, 08:47:57 AM »

NWP is building a new rig. I am going to use stock cooling for now. I was going to get a cooler, but I don't like how any of them look

. I went with the Dual core because of the price, and I can always upgrade if need be.

awesome cooler for the price, it keeps my cpu at 30C

and its not AS big as it is in the picture, its worth the 30$

RAMBO · « **Reply #22 on:** February 17, 2009, 12:09:05 PM »

Hmmm, no. Darkie, every time you post about hardware it fails. I will not take any suggestions from you. I want my cooler to be blue, that's why I didn't buy one yet. The blue ones out suck. The good ones are red. All my shit is blue. I want it to match. And, that cooler is cheap ass shit that looks like shit.

I don't know, maybe my dad since it is in his house and he doesn't "want it to look like shit". And IMO that cooler looks faggoty.
