Teh rig questions

[Vegitto]

As suggested by potato28, I've posted this thread in here. I've got a couple of questions about this rig .
The components:
-AMD Opteron 165 (boxed)
-DFI LanParty Ultra-D
-Corsair TWINX2048-3200C2PT (2x 1 GB) 2-3-3-6
-XFX GeForce 7800 GT Light Retail (450/1050 MHz)
-Don't know what PSU yet
-Current HD, mouse, keyboard
-Current (ghetto) case, so it won't get stolen

All of the components together cost about ?1050 incl. shipping, so that leaves about ?55 for a PSU.

Could someone recommend a PSU for that price, and tell me if this Corsair RAM will cause any problems? I read that some Corsair (ValueRAM) causes problems with this MOBO. Is it likely to happen that this XMS RAM will cause similair problems?

Thanks .

DFI motherboards won't accept Corsair RAM so I'll recommend to get OCZ.

have you bought the mbo already?
if not, get either
this

or this
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813131530

not sure id these are available where you live though but both are better ocers.

as for psu, get a fsp group(fortron) psu. cheap and great power and quality.

I've already got the mobo, so getting another one won't be an option. Not using the mobo at the moment, of course .

I can't afford OCZ, so I'll look into something else.. How about some G.SkiLL? Is that RAM okay?

OCZ isn't all expensive stuff, they have a budget line too.

PSU: Fortron 400W, the king of the budget PSU range.

Yeah, but all of the suppliers here won't offer ANY OCZ RAM under ?300, and I can't pay for that.. I liked this RAM because it was affordable and had a CL of 2 . Any similair OCZ RAM'd cost me at least ?350..

You're in the EU? Hmmm

*goes to find link for place he got his RAM from*

They ship pretty much anywhere in the EU.

Thanks, but I get 33% tax added when I order from outside of the country. Not to mention the shipping costs.

I read DFI-street, and the RAM I'm looking at isn't on the 'Corsair Black List'. I can see the CMX on there, but no word on the TWINX/XMS versions.. Would that mean that they are okay, or would it mean that they just weren't tested?

 

[potato28]

Corsair RAM in general doent work with DFI boards. G.Skill is a great company, and a FSP Source power supply(Fortron) will run that pc well.

 

[alimoalem]

yup, g.skill and fortron would do for you.

Thanks! I'll look into both, and come back sometime .
