I know i need OS, still thinking on that part.

hows it look?

the psu is overkill for that setup but if you plan to upgrade video cards, i assume so, then i would stick with it.

i'm not sure how much space you need or how tight your budget is but i would change out the hdd for a 250gb seagate barracuda 7200.10 (ST3250410AS) its fast, quiet and performs very nicely.


outside of that looks like its gonna be a nice setup.

What PSU you think would be still clearing requirments and maybe still aloud to upgrade video card?

Changed
Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3250620A 250GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache IDE Ultra ATA100 Hard Drive - OEM

thats the old Seagate barracuda, make sure the last numbers are 410AS and not 620AS.

link to 410AS (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148262)

i will get you some HD tach scores/tests for the difference between the two models as i have both.

as for psu i used this psu calculator (http://www.extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp) and it said 256 for what you have. i'm not "in the know" to know how accurate that calculator is or what but i (for my build) went over just to be safe.
but i think you would be safe with a 520watt crosair (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139001) or a 620wattt crosair (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139002). both are great psu's as others here will back me up, right :). if you want to stick with thermaltake then this would be fitting (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817153029).

but don't just take my opinion on it get read some reviews for all the stuff you buy before you buy it.

[B1Gtime]

wow 620 watt is more expenizve then the 700w, ya i heard that the 520 Crosair is a nice PSU.


Trust me i read the reviews on new egg and other sites,lol, but you guys on the forum are usually right too.

thx for the link for the newer HDD

I think i might go with the 520 psu, since i tried the calculator and it said 250-260, and you said it should be safe, the PSU got some good reviews.

ok well that never got built, Dell borked when i was going to sell it to my dad and girlfriend came in(which i dont have anymore) and bought a new mountain bike. Hopefully this updated build gets built if nothing else comes up. Ill probably build it after my room is done( http://www.thebestcasescenario.com/forum/showthread.php?t=12702) Ill probably end up keeping Dell for certain things.
