Right now I only run 2 laptops, a new desktop, xbox 360, wii and a ps3. So this should be good enough?

I just bought a Netgear WNR3500 yesterday from Best Buy for $100. I was reading some reviews and am kind of worried about the reliability of this Netgear. My GF has a cheap Netgear and it kinda sucks. It needs to be rebooted all the time and she loses connection at least once every time she...

Yeah I went with the X3 and I love it! This computer absolutely hauls compared to my old PC. Got a new router this weekend too so browsing and downloading is great! So fast and I love it!

Well, I am posting from the new machine! The build went flawlessly! Powered up on first start and everything looks to be testing just fine.. I don't have any pics yet but maybe I can snap a few..

Well I went with this build and all the parts are sitting at home waiting to be put together. I can't wait to get out of work and get this ball rolling, I'm so stoked! Thanks for all the help guys/gals!

Ok guys, I am just about to order this setup just had a few last questions. Will this setup need a separate CPU cooler or will the heatsink/fan that comes with it be ok? What type of thermal paste should I get? Is there anything I am missing here? I am going to harvest an old CD drive from...

I figured that.. But do I go with Home Premium, Home Ultimate?

If I was looking to purchase a new OS, what OS should I go with? Vista what? 64-bit or 32-bit?

Since this is a new build I won't be using used parts. If it was a replacement part, then maybe but not on a new build.

A 22"+ Monitor is something that would be in the future. Not right now.

Good deal.. Well I just fried my old computer tonight so I might be purchasing this one as soon as tomorrow lol.

Yeah I understand its not much more by itself but I was looking at this combo (http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.245593) which included the Earthwatts rather than the Truepower.. There is one with the Truepower but its like $20 more.. Is it worth the $20 or not?

Would this PSU work too? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371015

Is this about the best I can do for the price range I'm in? Will this run most of the games out there now and a good bit into the future? If I get more into gaming will this rig be alright for me (I understand an upgrade into a higher end GPU)? I am worried about becoming too slow again. I...

Nah, I'd rather buy new.. Looking over a few parts I have a little list going.. CPU: AMD Phenom II X3 720 2.8GHz Socket AM3 95W Triple-Core Black Processor Model HDZ720WFGIBOX - Retail Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-MA770T-UD3P AM3 AMD 770 ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail PSU: Antec EarthWatts EA650...
