    There is a deal I am hoping to get in on this friday, to get a Phenom X4 9750 4MB 125W for within my budget, but I'm wondering a few things. This will be much, much faster than my proposed 4850E X2 45W correct? This will be much, much hotter than my proposed proc? Can I undervolt and...

    Help on TV capture cards.

    How bad is this card, because it is either free or $15 depending if they honor the rebate. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815260017 I'm building a SFF HTPC for Christmas, and I'm very close to maxing out my budget already. Since this is an add-on card I can wait to...

    Guys I can't tell you how excited I am. I haven't had a desktop to tinker with for a long time, and I just read this article about my future cpu/mobo combo. http://hothardware.com/Articles/AMD-780G-Chipset-and-Athlon-X2-4850e-Preview-/?page=1 At load, with a graphics card it only drew 155w...

    No, I'm pretty sure the most popular PSU during the socket 939 times was the OCZ 520w, at OCForums atleast. I could be mistaken. Can anyone else offer some insight into whether to get the OCZ 500 or the Antec 380? It seems I might not get the rebate on the OCZ even if I turn it in, but it...

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341012 36 amps on the 12v rail. The original Antec has 34 amps on the 12v. I'm not really trying to pinch pennies that much, just 2 years ago OCZ was all the rage with the 520 watt PSU, and it's on sale, and it's sleeved.

    well HDMI is a big plus, as my tv has HDMI, and it seems to be a pretty quality board, so I might go with all these components. I know you shouldn't skimp on the PSU, but is there a better option for less, like the OCZ?

    It will be a movie player, browser, light game/emulator player, music player, and just a computer for anyone to use. (I'm in college, people stop by) I like AMD a lot, my last processor was a 2600+ that I ran at 2.7ghz daily, I think I might do your AMD combo.

    I'm guessing it's not possible to find a cheaper/better combo buying the case, psu, and mobo seperately? priorities $300-350 > size > power

    Budget SFF help

    So I have built a computer in the past (watercooled and overclocked) so I know a lot of the basics, but that was back in the socket A days. I'm looking to get back into the custom pc thing with a small HTPC to tinker with. I'm trying to do under 300-350. Here is a copy of a post from another...
