Please tell me if you see any compatability problems and if you think my powersupplies are good enough without liquid cooling. I'm also not 100% sure on going with the 400GB harddrive instead of a Raptor, thats going to be a last second decision i guess. thanks.

all i well

what manufactere 7800?

are you going to OC? if so, DFI>MSI

 

[rohbshop]

Would PCI Express be the manufacturer? If so its PCI Express 16X. I dont know much about computers so i wont be overclocking, but i want to use it for gaming mainly. thx for replying 🙂

 

[Corporate Thug]

no, pci e is the interface

what company makes the card?

 

[rohbshop]

I'm sorry i'm not sure then, I have to call them. Its listed on ibuypowers site.

 

[Corporate Thug]

is this a assembled righ or are you buying parts to put it together?

 

[rohbshop]

They are assembling, I dont trust myself or my brother putting this much money into parts. Its just a build from their customizing site i'm trying to finalize.

 

[Corporate Thug]

i just checked their site, they dont list the manufacterer

anyway, i think your fine. i wouldnt change anything

but why is there 2 power supplies listed?

 

[rohbshop]

I wanted to be safe and have future upgrade for SLI possibility and figured i'd just get the 500+ powersupply now. My current computer from Alienware years ago is having power supply problems and I'm paranoid of that happening again also.

oh and thanks again for your input )

 

[Corporate Thug]

honestly, i would ditch the PSU that comes with the wavemaster and use the enermax

 

[rohbshop]

Yeah thats what i planned on, they dont give an options iwthout power supply though.
