THANKS a lot guys, you were a big help!!!

OK, im not new to computers but i still have quite a lot to learn. this is my second build, and a week ago my old x800xl died on me. I bought a x1800xt from newegg this weekend but now im wondering if i need to upgrade my PSU. (ATI suggests 450+) I currently have an enermax 420w dual...

sounds good. I think i will go with the epox. I dont need the BEST MoBo for overclocking. I just want a good one. And its sounds like the DFI has major issues

Im trying to build a good gaming comp. right now im thiking x800 xl 256, 3200+ amd 64, a gig of 2.5 latancey ram... Now what MoBo? Im looking at the EPoX EP-9NPA+ ULTRA right now, but am willing to go higher prices if the quality is worth it. what do you guys think? Not going to do any...

Awsome! What do you people think about this MoBO? EPoX EP-9NPA+ ULTRA, should i go with a DFI LAnparty, or the MSI, ect... Link http://www.hardocp.com/article.html?art=NzQ4LDQ=

Hi guys, i basicly have two questions. One: Im looking at this new EPoX EP-9NPA+ ULTRA mother board. and want to know what you guys think of it? Like compared to the other NF4 boards out there. Two: If i get that board it says its compatable with 2.5 system memory, but the memory im...

Oh ic, So given my predicted setup i should be fine, and dont have to blow 100+ dollers on a new PSU?

is 29a what dfi requires or somthing?...... like i said im not doing to be doing 2 3d cards... only 2 hardrives and 2 cd\dvd drives

Ok, im such a noob but where do i find out how many Amps i got on the 12v rail? I have a noisetaker Enermax 420w.. in the back is this lil chart ..... +3.3v=32a, +5v= 36a, +12v1=15a, +12v2=14a -12v 0.8a, +3.3v & +5v = 260w

well.....SHoooot! so it sounds like i need to slap another 100+ down to build this comp... whats a good psu u would sugest? Im most likly to NEVER eEVER use two 3d cards at once but if its a diff of only like 20-30 doller id rather side with "just in case:"

Hey, i must admit i havent looked though all 50+ pages of this forum so it might have already been said but, I have a question about the PSU this board is going to require. Right now I have a 425 W 12v dual rail PSU with 24 pin connection. do you think that will be enough>? I plan on running...

well i dont want to blow $300 on a video card that you guys think i will end up having to replace in a year.... so i guess i will wait for the next generation to come out and pick up the 6800 gt. its too bad tho, i really liked the x800 xl.:frown: More than anything im looking for a smart...

BTW creig's post makes a lot of sence to me.

Thanks once again.... Ok so it sounds like NVIDIA MIGHT be a better long term decision, but ATi has em beat now. As for SLI I don?t much see a point to it.... i mean unless u buy TWO top of the line cards now to get "twice the speed" then it doesn?t make since. because if I were to get a sli...

Thanks a lot guys i really appreciate the help. It sounds like i should just forget the 6600. i wouldn?t see any performance increase at all. now the question is a x800 xl or a NVIDIA 6800 gt... i know the 6800 does Slllllightly better in test, but i dont think a few extra frames is worth $ 100...
