Hi guys, just making sure ive got my stuff right here lol If you can tweak any of the spec without changing the mobo (as ive already got it =P) that would be great =)
ECS KA3 MVP Athlon 64 X2 5600+ ColorsIT 600w BenQ DW1670 (DVD) Scythe Samurai Z Rev.B AM2 Socket 2x Radeon 2600xt Ultimate 256mb GDDR3 4gb of OCZ 6400 RAM And to top it off an Aerocool Aeroengine II case. I hope you all dont laugh at what i picked because its not fancy like the intel Q6600 and 5 billion 8800 Ultras lol |

I would change the PSU as it has only got a single 12v rail with 30amps, go with named brands like enermax
For the graphics cards are you running XP or Vista? cos I would probably change if XP And 4gigs is overkill, 2 is plenty

Yeah im still using XP, think i'll wait till i start hearing really positive things about Vista, all ive heard is crashes this and oh its not compatible etc... So 2gig of ram is fine? Thought i might go a tad higher than i usually do just to be on the safe side of all these RAM hungry apps =P Everything else looks good other than PSU? Didnt really wanna have to change it seeing as how its only a few months old lol Might aswell get a nice 1000w to future proof my system if i decide to beef it up.
Thanks Warfare =) |

Yeah the most RAM that XP even recognizes is 3gigs anyway so 4 would be pointless
30amps on the 12v for those cards wouldn't be enough I would also go for a better single card rather than getting 2 2600gt in Xfire, like a 2900pro and maybe in the future you could go Xfire then if needed The 2900pro can be overclocked to 2900XT speeds and further with the better bios it has

Woah what the heck are those cards there?
Get a 8800 GTS or GTX :O Or if you're really on a budget, a 8600 GTS. EDIT: Oh and 4gb ram are too much for a build like that, yes. EDIT 2: Also Intel>>>ATI get a Core 2 Duo E6400 or E6550 or E6750. |
