    So, you're right about all of those things, except possibly overclocking. Will I be unable to overclock with those PSU's? Thanks for your awesome clarification on the rest of the points; it was really helpful.

    I noticed that the alternative supplies you suggested have lower wattage ratings than the one you originally suggested. From what I've heard about power supplies, the quality of the power is more important than the actual wattage rating, at least to a point, but I wanted to double-check that...

    In general, I tend to play a variety of different types of games, ranging from turn-based strategy to first-person shooters to RPG's (MMO and single-player) to real-time strategy to space combat sims to arcade, etc. However, I honestly have been far too busy to play any games at all for the...

    Thanks for your recommendations. Everything you said makes sense to me. My only question is about the RAM. As someone who currently runs Windows XP, I have no concept for what it really takes to run stuff on the newer OS's. It looks like I can double my RAM from 8GB to 16GB for about $50...

    The drive to Microcenter is ~20-30 minutes as long as you avoid rush hour, so it's really pretty close. As for the OS, I guess I hadn't completely thought out all the costs, so how about I update the budget to ~$1400-1500.

    My current computer just turned 10 years old, so I think it's probably about time to get a new one. Yes, you read that right, ten(!) years old. According to Moore's Law, the new one should be something like 2^5=32 times more powerful. I'm really looking forward to it. Most recent games...
