Critique my shopping cart at ZZF , components for an 820D system.

[Slacker]

I have this stuff in my cart at ZZF. Not buying tonight but I already have an 820D chip and i945 board on the way from EBAY (the Intel Retail Edge bundle)

This will be mostly for games, and will also be used as a PVR.

Get the XFX 7800GT from NewEgg

Save yourself some money and get yourself a Fortron AX500 from actbuy.com. I've built rigs with both PSUs and prefer the Fortron.

Nice, and free shipping too, thanks.

keeleysam, there is a $20.00 rebate on the evga and it is at 445/1070 I might gamble on the O/C


Thanks for the help, time for bed now 🙁

why the DDR2 memory? isn't still slower than regular DDR due to the timings, or is it actually faster now?

Why'd you waste the money on an intel combo?

do 820Ds really suck down so much power you need a 550?

It was $325.00 for the board, chip, full XP PRO, Photoshop elements 4.0/Premier elements 2.0 and Norton '05

I dont know, just trying to be safe, with the 7800 and the 820 I figured 550 would be good to have.
