Just finished a new build on a system that was long overdue to retire the current setup I have running here. a P4 3.2GHz Prescott, Abit IG7-C using the 875p, 2x512MB DDR, X850XT AGP and a 120GB hard drive to...



Prices are in Canadian dollars, and ofcourse the item's listed as $0 weren't presents or anything, but rather components I'm going to be reusing from my current system. Have just got hold of the RAM and PSU so far, as most of the other components arent in stock and wont be arriving until next week. Any glaring issues stand out to you guys? I'm not planning on doing any overclocking here.
 
Looks ok. Thats one expensive PSU, and its overkill for your system. You only need, at most 600W, and you'd still have room for growth. What OS? If using Vista, your X-Fi won't play nice with it.
 
I actually managed to get a decent rebate on the PSU until the 31st so decided to take the plunge. It seemed to be a compact version of the Galaxy and they have some pretty good features so figured why not.

As for the X-Fi yeah I've heard of the problems with Vista. Is this something thats going to be a longterm issue? I'm going to be using XP for now and wasnt planning to take the plunge on Vista until SP1 is out. I guess if the X-Fi problems are still there after that I'll have to stick to using the onboard sound? :confused:
 
Yah, stick with onboard if they havent solved the issues by then.
