its cheaper to get 2 sticks of 1gb its like 85$ doing 4 512mb sticks like that would be 100$

 

[drumthrasher]

I found decent 1GB RAM for $98 lol....its okay.
Is everythng okay? Will it all work? Am I missing anything?

 

[Thelis]

No, the PSU is total crap.

Also, if I was you I would get the e6600, but not a lot of people would agree with me. It is just a better deal than the e6300.

 

[Rudster8161]

the PSU is NOT CRAP rosewill is one of the BEST budget power supply makers EVER AGHHH! lol

it is a great PSU look at my sig i plan on buying from rosewill


again the E6600 would be overkill and get the E6320 it is the same price with more cache

 

[Thelis]

Lol, that psu is not enough to power an 8800 with the rest of his components.

System Requirements

Minimum of a 400 Watt power supply.
(Minimum recommended power supply with +12 Volt current rating of 26 Amps.)


maybe get the 550watt version of it...still would power it though

 

[spywarebanisher]

it would power a 8800 okay without sli but it as a lot of chance it wont power the 8800 series because not enough amps go thru the 12 v rail. u should have more than 20.

Thank you spyware, finally somebody agrees with me.

A good PSU is incredibly important to a good set up, and yet they are the most underestimated features.
