Critique my build - $600 budget build - Page 3

How about this. Does the PSU and RAM look compatible with the specs and mobo? The PSU is only 430W (has 20.00 mail in rebate)....

I'm actually getting windows and the cpu from NCIX. Do I need 1333 ram though? My mobo goes up to 1333 and everything above that (1600+) says OC next to it. Can I drop my 1600 ram in and still be okay or will I need to tweak some things to get it running okay?

Any suggestions on who is best for what? Newegg for GPU, software through NCIX, etc? How about microcenter? Do they specialize in pricing on any particular type of component?

And 430W would be enough for this build?

Nope...unfortunately don't live near a Microcenter

Thanks for adding some input into this....

Thanks xD. I was actually going to go through Newegg for my mobo. It does look like I can save a few $$$ by getting the other items you mentioned though. I guess now the question is, will this stuff be cheaper on Cyber Monday?

Oh yes, I'm blasted by the egg all the time. Gotta love the egg!
