I don't think it's wise to buy components that you will upgrade 2 or 3 years from now because you will not be able to find a graphic card that came out 3 years ago. Computer technology is changing every day as you know. Who knows what we will have in 3 years. It's possible that PCI-E slots will not be used anymore.

def a bigger power supply lol unless you plan to buy a bigger one down the road?

Look good which corsair cooler? Ive got the H50 in my case now and it rocks just ask me b4 you put it on... the instructions were written by a 3 year old lol.

If you wanna save money buy some Gskill ram; Ive used it on the past 3 computers ive built and haven't had a problem once. ( save some money for a bigger psu ^_^ )


Yea the H50 I was reading up on them quite a bit, I have question for you then, it seems mixed on whether to have the fan installed with the radiator to exhaust air out of the case or intake air.

How about these for PSU's, I don't want to go over 170$ for one, I want a modular one and one with single rail.

Anyway tell me if these PSU are any good.

COOLER MASTER Silent Pro 850W - 160$

ABS DARK BERET 1000W - 170$

(I'm not sure about the ABS brand, I never heard of them, do they have a good track record?)

As for the ram, I was looking into the Gskill brand as you mentioned and it seems to be recieving mass positive reviews but I'm stuck between two certain types of the gskill memory.

For graphic cards you may want to visit  Tom's Hardware.  I like to go there to compare cards using graphs and charts.  Good site.
