Nevermind, I clarified that myself. I would much rather have the 520HX with the modular support. Now I just need to find a motherboard that will work out of the box for the X3350.

Thanks for the info Jian. I don't have another chip unfortunately. I am currently running an A64 3500+. So yeah, hefty upgrade. I kinda figured this might be an issue but I just couldn't pass up getting this chip for my upgrade. I'll keep an eye out on those links and here as well.

Ordered and shipped. Can't wait! Any suggestions on a motherboard that will support right out of the box?

Faster and quieter video for less money... Sounds good to me. Are the modular Corasir power supplies that much more expensive? Also, any word on that ASUS baord supporting the X3350 right out of the box? Thanks for the replies so far.

Hello everyone, its been a long time since I posted here so I'll start off with the proper Q and A and then go into some detail after that. 1. What YOUR PC will be used for. That means what types of tasks you'll be performing. -Mostly gaming. (team fortress 2, call of duty 4, etc.) -I...

So any of the newer cards in the 100 dollar price range will do? No one really has any preferences?

Thanks for the replies so far. I will check out the Rosewill thread. He is mostly leaving it up to me to decide the case for him but I would like to give him like a top 3 list to choose from. My top requirements are temp/airflow, quietness, quality of construction. The case needs to...

Building an AMD AM2 system for someone, looking at case choices. Could I get some pros and cons for these cases? Or just give me your top 3-4 choices. For the ones without power supplies, I'll be putting in an Enermax Liberty more than likely. My top choice, but hes not sure he likes the door...

Yeah, roger on the quality of monitor. I believe he has a real nice NEC CRT and he is also getting a Dell widescreen LCD. So we'll be going DVI on that bad-boy for sure.

I'm building a new rig for a buddy who is a photographer. He is only concerned about image quality obviously. I know this can be a somewhat subjective question... but, between nvidia, ati and matrox, who would you recommend for a pure photo editing workstation? Further more, which specific card...

Yes I did, that topic was originally about the release date. I thought it would be better to collect availability links in a seperate thread.

I'm helping a buddy try and locate this awesome board. As I'm sure most of you are aware, everyone is out of stock. But, I figure if anyone can, this community can track it down. So, if anyone knows someplace that has it in stock, please post a link. Or, as it becomes available, lets keep new...

I also recommend the P160. Very stylish, quiet and cool. I just built mine with the Antec Neopower PS and I am quite happy with both.

I love my Antec P160. Sleek and sexy looking. Cool and quiet.

Never really been a fan of Western Digital myself. I think I'm going to go with a Seagate, always had great success with them. Thanks for the reply, I'll look at the X800 again, but it'll be pretty hard to give up the 6800GT... ;)
