Re: Help with computer build! Please
Wow, one giant paragraph? Please, when you post, don't make one giant paragraph, it's hard on the eyes and hard to read, please.
Now for the build:
Why ASUS for mainboard, by saying it has to be ASUS you are severely limiting yourself. Why not a good Gigabyte P45 Mainboard, for instance?
As far as nVidia for the video, once again, why limit your choices to nVidia solutions? What specific reason is there, if any? I might suggest a Radeon 4850 for instance.
As far as power supply: It depends upon what the build will be comprised of. Let's say a mid or lower mid end PCI Express 16 video card is used and two HDs, a quad core, 2 sticks of RAM, air cooling, 1 optical drive...
...Well, such a system could be fired just fine by a Corsair VX 450 or a 520 if you wanted headroom for some reason. Corsair is one of the safest bets, and the prices are very good too.
You don't tell us what monitor he has! CRT? LCD? Size/Resolution? We need to know that.
What else does he do on a computer?
Please reply, but please use small paragraphs so I don't go cross eyed. Not trying to be unkind here, just asking.
