Diablo321 Posted December 15, 2006 CID Share Posted December 15, 2006 You mean don't get the 10 fans? You sure it won't get to hot? How many fans are already in your case? I would say 10 fans for one computer is way too much, unless you are planning on overclocking.

Voltageman Posted December 15, 2006 CID Share Posted December 15, 2006 I'm also going to go with the cheaper motherboard and [glow=red,2,300]no CPU fan[/glow], since I'm not going to overclock. Typo?

Diablo321 Posted December 15, 2006 CID Share Posted December 15, 2006 Typo? I think he meant no aftermarket fan. Just the one that comes with the processor.

gotmilk Posted December 15, 2006 Author CID Share Posted December 15, 2006 Yeah, that's what I meant. And those 10 fans are $1.19 a piece if w/ no shipping if you buy 10 of them, and all the reviews say they're amazing for the price. How could you go wrong?

How could you go wrong? i guess you could have a few extra but i thought you were planning on putting all 10 of them in your case, which i doubt would fit without some sort of custom mounting..

gotmilk Posted December 16, 2006 Author CID Share Posted December 16, 2006 You guys are 100% sure this is all going to work fine right? Newegg charges 15% for restocking. I'm about to order it once I confirm you guys are 100% sure it'll work fine. And yet again, thanks.

Swimmer Posted December 16, 2006 CID Share Posted December 16, 2006 Ok, here's the new list with stuff added from your suggestions: Processor Motherboard Memory Video card Power supply 10 of these CPU fan Anything else? I can keep my case right? Looks fine to me.. Just wondering why a micro atx mobo? If I was going to build a 939 based system I would be looking at this motherboard as another possibility.. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813135175 Here is a decent review: http://www.neoseeker.com/Articles/Hardware/Reviews/ecskn1extreme/ Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/16780-new-video-card/page/3/#findComment-192157 Share on other sites More sharing options...

outlaw69 Posted December 16, 2006 CID Share Posted December 16, 2006 just so you know with that pci x setup on that ECS you will lose the 1st pci slot.my epox is the same way.and your gonna lose performance by only running in single channel mode.the kits are the same price. unless you plan on putting another 1 gb stick in there later?.

gotmilk Posted December 26, 2006 Author CID Share Posted December 26, 2006 Ok, I got some more money for Christmas, so I can get even better parts. I need you guys to help me make some decisions. Processor - This one or this one? Already got memory picked out. Video card - This one, this one, or this one? Power supply - Will this one still suffice? Motherboard - This one or this one?

dlewis23 Posted December 26, 2006 CID Share Posted December 26, 2006 go with the 3700+ processor the XFX 7900 (see if you can get a BFG tech one they are faster) the power supply is ok, but you could do better, go with the ecs motherboard.

gotmilk Posted December 26, 2006 Author CID Share Posted December 26, 2006 Sorry, I'm a noob, but could you explain to me why that one is better? Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/16780-new-video-card/page/3/#findComment-194177 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted December 26, 2006 CID Share Posted December 26, 2006 Sorry, I'm a noob, but could you explain to me why that one is better? becuase antec uses the best parts, rosewill uses cheap Chinese parts. if the antec fails they will send you a new one no matter what the reason is.

Buntz Posted December 27, 2006 CID Share Posted December 27, 2006 I have run a Enermax EG495P[485 watt] in my other computer which has a 3700+ oc to 2.42 with a 7300GT video card for 5 months with no problems. My PCPower& Cooling 510-SLI been going now for 12 months with no problems running in the computer in my sig. The 510-SLI is a bit on the noisey side & expensive.
