Question The 1k Build

From all of my research, primarily from the excellent posts on these forums I have come up with this build. I would like some "ok good to go" from some people to make sure that everything will go good together, will have the best value and best quality, and more than capable of hitting 3.2+ ghz.

XCLIO A380 Silver Case with two 25cm fans

GIGABYTE GA-965P-DS3 Socket T (LGA 775) Intel P965 Express

SAPPHIRE 100154 Radeon X1800XT 256MB 256-bit GDDR3 VIVO PCI Express x16 CrossFire Support


Sunbeam NUUO SUNNU550-US-BK ATX12V/ EPS12V 550W Power Supply

Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 Conroe

CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)

Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 ST3808110AS 80GB 7200 RPM 8MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive

Scythe SCNJ-1000 CPU Cooling Heatsink

For the Optical Drives, I will use a NEC DVD/CD burner and a Pioneer DVD-Rom, which I already have. Also, a 180 gb Seagate that I currently use for my multimedia files will be transplanted until I find the need of buying a 500 gb monster to replace it.

Thank you for the help!

Looks pretty good, I would recommend a cheaper case and better PSU

The NUUO is a proven PSU, it will work fine. Overall a good setup.

I agree with those choices, since that is the PSU I am going to buy very soon.

Yea, the case is a bit expensive, but I picked it over the centurion for the 2 25cm fans. The psu that Ben recommended is wayy above my budget of a 1k pc. I will most likely end up buying the centurion or Antec Lan Boy. It just is that full towers are so nice and spacious for my fat clumsy hands.

Another question... can anyone recommend a PSU that is ultra quiet, and SATA 3.0gbs HDs that are also quiet. The goal is to have a Conroe oc'd, and be able to walk into the room without noticing that the computer is on.

I'm happy with my Enermax NoiseTaker II -- they make more powerful ones too. Very quiet and the design (2 fans) is good.

I was told that Seasonic make the quietest (sp?) PSUs.... but I think they are expensive.

PS. Unless you want to keep your motherboard for a long time, get the S3. It's cheaper and performs as well as the DS3. Money saved there could be put towards quiet case fans.

Looks great for a gaming rig. However, might want to think about a bigger HDD if you can handle like $40 more dollars you can double your HDD or even more.

Nice setup!
My recommendations:
Either get an X1800XT retail or try out an X1800GTO or a 7900GS: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130056

Go for this OCZ, it may OC better, and it is a lot cheaper. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820227139

Hard Drives fill up FAST. go for a 250GB one for only $26 more: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822144417
