Need some help building my pc

[GrInD1901]

Hey guys,
I'm buildin a new pc, im 13, so im on a tight budget. i need ram and power supply. I already kno what ram im getting but i need some advices on the power supply. There's this deal: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications...-details.asp?EdpNo=876412&sku=ULT31558 It seems good. PLease tell me if its actually good and how well it handles overclocking. If someone knows or has similar deal as this please pm me. Thanks in advance.

newegg's 48 hour sale suppose to include a kit of patriot rams, check hot deals section for that. for the cpu, an operton would be best if it stays in the field it's intended for. you can just get a 3000 venice and still get good overclocks even with value ram (divider). you might want to repalce that power supply with something like a fortron 450w for $50.

i will upgrade pws in about 2 months, i want 2 buy all the good stuff now...and add on better stuff( good pws) later

 

[GrInD1901]

P.S. this pws has 26 amps on the 12v rail....isnt that okay?

 

[Remy XO]

I would upgrade your old harddrives

 

[suicidalpigeon]

it's better if you buy them in 2 months, prices will drop by that time and will enable you to squeeze in something extra. i wouldnt neglect the psu, even if it does read high amps. my generic 550w with 26amps blew up anyways, resulting in the death of my mobo.

 

[GrInD1901]

i want 2 upgrade them 2, but wats da point if i dnont even have a pc yet...i mean u gta c da case im using rite now....compaq deskpro ghetto modded lol
on top of dat, like im said im 13, i dnt get a paycheck every month, i dnt got a credit card either...

 

[GrInD1901]

thx on da pws comment, i will take that as a consideration

 

[suicidalpigeon]

then this is the time you hang around the forums and learn how to spend smart.

 

[GrInD1901]

dats exactly wat im tryin 2 do now...tryin 2 learn how 2 spend smart wit no money

 

[GrInD1901]

If you want to run BF2 at even "ok settings" you need at least 1 gig of ram, epecially with your current setup,

Consider it man.

Do you already have the parts listed in your sig or are you just deciding what to buy?

 

[GrInD1901]

thx i will be adding same stick of whatever ram i get right now in about a month to have 1 gig because i don't have money for it right now...budget

I saw your thread in the FS section, so you have $300 for a CPU and RAM yes?
