[FONT="]RAM- [/FONT]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820211409 $99
Graphics- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102824&cm_mmc=LMCDBanner-_-CPC-_-NA-_-NA $93
Hard Drive- WD Black 500 gb $69
Random Sata Drive- $27
Heatsink- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835185096 $30
Power Supply- OCZ OCZ600MXSP ModXStream Pro 600 Watt $55
Case- Antec 300 $60
Total: Around 630
Main Concerns:
1) I think I picked out the best motherboard for my needs (good overclocker, acc enabled), but did I make the right choice?
2) I have no clue what video card to buy. 150$ is my budget. Preferably, I would like a card that is quiet (or as quiet as these cards can get). Also, a cheaper card that could overclock higher would be fine with me.
3) I have a 400 watt OCZ power supply I am not using right now. Would I be wrong to assume that it is not enough to power this system?
