pick out my system

[Grimreaper23]

OK I have posted this question before and I was wondering what shall I get for 350 USD I currently have a 3200+ venice a dfi lanparty Ultra-D mobo. ok so here I got I need a dvd burner and a reader I also need the ram and PSU. so much help is appreciated. please post links too.

Shouldn't be tough at all to get that covered with $350.

Are you looking for silence by any chance?

 

[Grimreaper23]

yes well silence would be nice as long as there is not "TORNADO" fans in there the one I think vantec makes with 51 DB's LOL.

XClio 450W PSU @ Newegg ~$55
NEC ND-3540A DVD+/-RW @ Newegg ~$46
Mushkin/Kingston Value RAM 1GB (512MB x 2) @ Newegg ~$80

Kthxbye!

 

[Grimreaper23]

well Also I don't mind spending all of the money I just can't go over it.

 

[YOyoYOhowsDAjello]

NEC makes good value DVD burners. I have the older 3520 and it's working great.

I'm not sure if your motherboard doesn't like certain brands of memory, but jpeyton's budget is right. Don't spend more than $100 on a gig of ram.

The XClio will be good and quiet. As long as you're not running a ton of stuff in your computer (lots of harddrives etc.), you will be fine with that.

You can spend more on the PSU if you want to, but it probably wont be neccessary. If you want somthing that's very quiet, check out Seasonic. I have the 430watt S12 running my 3200+ system and it's working quite well.

 

[Grimreaper23]

yes, ok I think I got it but I need a few suggestions on the ram mybae a few links, please?

 

[YOyoYOhowsDAjello]

I'm using corsair value ram in my system... but like I said, I'm not sure if your board is picky about the ram it likes.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820218062 aren't these any good I heard they were from another forum where I'm activly in. (1000= posts) I'm thinking of doing a bit of OCing (why I have a dfi Lanparty / venice LOL)

I have this ram, a 3200+ venice and the same mobo you have.

This ram is perfect for your motherboard if you want to OC. After adding a 80mm fan and doing some bios tweaks im running 250mhz 1:1 @ 2-2-2-5 1T. It takes 3.32 volts, but thats what the DFI mobo is for. As for my CPU im up to 2.6-2.7ghz 100% stable with the stock cooler. This OCZ value VX is a perfect match for your setup if you want to do any OCing.

 

[Grimreaper23]

I also don't do DL burn on SL so what is the fastest CD-R, CD-RW, dvd-R, dvd-RW burner? also what is the best one with the quickest acess time for cd's and DVD's?

 

[Grimreaper23]

http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16817153009 will this PSU work?

Yeah, that one would be fine too. If you really want silence though, you should stick to PSUs with a single 120mm fan.

 

[Grimreaper23]

cou;d I just remove 1 of the fans? right when it comes out of the box do I have the chance of getting shoked since it has never been plugged in?

I wouldn't mess around with the airflow the PSU is designed to get if I were you.

Is there a reason you really want that one? Thermaltake makes some decent products, but I dont' think I'd be looking at them in this pricerange.

Even if you do only have one of its fans running, it's probably not going to be as quiet or move as much air as a 120mm fan would.

 

[Grimreaper23]

could I replace it with 2 120 stealth fans, also If I where to get a psu I would want an OCZ,PC&P (outta price range), and a thermaltake, or antec. I heard those are the brands to trust I really have never heard anything about xclio or seasonic and sound isn't the biggest problem since the PC i'm on now is hella loud.

 

[YOyoYOhowsDAjello]

I would say OCZ, PC power and cooling, and antec are a step above Thermaltakes.

Some other good brands are Fortron, Sparkle, and yeah, Seasonic

 

[Grimreaper23]

Well I heard Sparkle sucks from tech-forums.net where I'm activly in.

 

[Grimreaper23]

bump, help me.

 

[Grimreaper23]

I also don't do DL burn on SL so what is the fastest CD-R, CD-RW, dvd-R, dvd-RW burner? also what is the best one with the quickest acess time for cd's and DVD's?

 

[YOyoYOhowsDAjello]

I'm using my NEC for SL DVD burning and have burned over 100 CDs with it. I'm not sure if it's the best, but it's a very good one especially for hte price.

 

[Grimreaper23]

yea I was just wondering because that neec is the fastes DL and I was wondering what the fast SL was.
