im going to put all this in an aerocool masstige, BTW i got an coolermaster aquagate mini from ebay on the cheap and was wondering if it would offer better cooling than the stock HSF that will come with my 4400? Im not looking for other suggestions, just want to know which one to use, the aquagate mini 120 or the stock hsf

THANX IN ADVANCE!!!!!
 
Well....I don't know much about that PSU...But I'm going to reccomend you get an Enermax Liberty 500Watt Modular PSU....All that I've seen is glowing reviews.

Also, maybe if you could buudget in to get some better RAM (2 gigs?)
 
i already have a gig of pqi turbo ram (ddr400) and i must say that is pretty good. I would opt for better ram but i dont want to mix modules from different companies, that is why i choose pqi

Well, by better I more or less meant to get 2 Gigs.....

So, if you already have a gig of it lying around, you will have 4x512mb, right?
 
that is correct I will have 4x512 and thanx for the reply!
 
I agree with bLaCktIGErs91 and get a better PSU than the ThermalTake shit. Get a Enermax, Antec, Seasonic, FSP/Fortron instead.
 
First of all, before I give any advice at all, do you plan on overclocking?

whats wrong wiht that termaltake?

There are MUCH better options. Especially at that price range.

Meh, just a lesser, less supported Brand. Here is the Enermax Liberty 500W. It's only $20 more than that tTake PSU. MUCH MUCH MUCH better brand / Quality.

400 Watt A little bit less powered, should do fine with only one video card. I've seen them take on SLi before....:)
 
other options that i am considering are the
Enermax Liberty 500W Modular PSU
Antec TRUEPOWERII TPII-550 550W Power Supply

Which one is better, i hear that the antec is great, BTW what is so wrong with that thermaltake psu, ive had one for a while now and its been real good to me!
 
quick question: is that hard drive supposed to have super duper great performance?

I would consider a 74GB Raptor in addition to big hard drive to use as the OS/boot drive and run all your games from the 10k rpm drive.

*edit* Looks like WD revised the Raptor line and added a 150GB model

oh, and I do have a 36GB Raptor with the OS & some games on it, but it feels somewhat constricting. I can only have 5-7 games installed and still maintain about 5GB free drvie space. Once your hard drive fills up, everything slows down.

Meh...that's a nice price on that drive as it is. If he can afford it, I'd just reccomend a 36GB Raptor for his OS and Games / Apps.
