It has some good reviews on newegg. Any other good mobo suggestion in that price range?

Any suggestions?

1. What YOUR PC will be used for. That means what types of tasks you'll be performing. gaming, surfing, watching some movies, work related stuff 2. What YOUR budget is. A price range is acceptable as long as it's not more than a 20% spread 1200$ max 3. What country YOU will be...

It is mini P180. That is where I got confused. At the time of ordering I thougth, I was ordering P180, not the mini. What the good mini ATX boards? I have E8400 (planning to OC to 4 Ghz). Will have 4850 GPU w/ 4 GB G Skill PC2 8500 (DDR2 1000) RAM. Also, are there different PSU for ATX and...

I have been planning to build a new PC for a while. This is my first ever attempt at PC building. I have been looking around for some good deals to buy components, as I am not in a hurry to build the PC right away. I just saw a nice deal on Antec p180 case and jumped on it (I was initially...

Thanks for the replies. I have a tight budget of 1200$ so I might have to cut some corners somewhere. Here is my updated build. Antec 900 - 70 $ (after 40$ MIR) http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16811129021 Corsair 650TX 650W PSU - 80$ (after 30$ MIR)...

Do you guys think that 550W PSU will be enough for this build (considering that I will OC and possibly add CF). There is a combo deal at newegg with the ram that I am planning to buy. Any input on this PSU? http://www.newegg.com/Shopping...emList=N82E16820231145

What is the difference between Pro and Delux? I was planning to buy delux as I am planning to OC my E8400 to 4 Ghz (in my first ever build!). However, newegg as a combo deal for ATI 4850 and P45 Pro for 277 after MIR. I am planning to pull a trigger on this but want to know your opinion and want...

I will consider changing the PSU and possibly upgrade to 8800GTS G92 if I find a good deal. I just read that G-skill DDR2 1000 RAM has problems with this mobo....is it true? Should I just buy DDR2 800? How much of a performance difference between 800 and 1000? And finally, if DDR2 800 is ok...

Thanks for the suggestions. I was thinking of arctic cooler 7 too. I was not sure if I should buy it now (i.e. I must have it) or I can buy it later when I decide to OC the system. I already have 500GB external HDD to store my music, photos and other stuff. So I guess I can go for smaller...

Hi all, My first post on this forum. I am planning to build a mid level gaming computer for the first time ever. I have average level of knowledge about computer hardwares. This is my first ever attempt at building a gaming rig. I am doing it for the experience and it comes out cheaper this...
