Topic: Help on My First Build Posted: 04 Aug 2009 at 1:34am |
Hi, this is my first ever build, and this computer will be mostly dedicated to gaming at 1900 x 1200. $2200 is about the most money I'm willing to spend on this desktop. Please look over the specs for me to see if they are okay (I'm especially concerned about whether the PSU that I chose has a high enough capacity).
I don't need an OS because my school provides free legal copies of Vista to all students. EDIT: If there are parts that are overkill/can be changed to save money without impacting performance too much, please let me know.

Welcome aboard 19930709... now, there's a hard "name" to pronounce. Aren't you worried people will get you confused with your configuration ticket number--oh, wait...you have two more digits (how silly of me not to have noticed)
