    Soundcard options for A=>D input conversion

    Hey'all, I just installed an older tv tuner card (analog cabe input) in my HT system with the audio out going to the aux in on my Chaintech AV-710 sound card. This is hooked to an Onkyo receiver via the SPDIF optical out. The problem is, the card does not do A=>D conversion on the A inputs...

    550w enough for a Q6600?

    you didn't mention the video card(s) you are using. as long as you don't plan to SLI with high end cards you should be fine.

    Sound Card Necessary?

    Onboard sound is pretty good these days, I'm using it on my latest build, for the first time, and I'm happy with the sound. I've tried onboard before and the digital output was good but the analog was crap. Music is more important to me than gaming also. So, I would try the onboard and see how...

    What PSU for my system, no overkill

    actually, the corsiar vx450W would be more than enough for that system, but you can get the vx550 for only $4 more, so take your choice. http://www.buy.com/prod/corsair-450w-vx-series-12v-atx-80-plus-certified-power-supply-corsair/q/loc/101/205466485.html...

    Upgraded my pc now I'm getting the BSOD

    u still shoul b able to boot the drive on the old MB, then uninstall the chip drivers and put it back in the new system. a repair install is more painful than a fresh install in my experience. only repair if you have programs u absolutley need but u don't have the CD or can't get it any other way.

    Could this work?

    That system will probably need less than 150 W under full load, so as long as the power supply you want is accurately rated, it should handle it no problem. It's a cheap supply though so the rating might be questionable.

    Is modular worth the extra money?

    if u r using many components i found no advantage to modular because you wind up using almost all the connectors anyway. also, there's a voltage drop and power loss across the modular connectors.

    DVD Drive - Digital or Analog
