Ok so I'm going with the 512mb version of the vid card now, good input.
Thirdshift, now im guessing the later link of the ram you suggested is newer, because i see them as having the exact same stats.

again this helps and is most appreciated.
thnx,

vern explained the diff of vista's....you really only need the 610w...its not really the wattage that matters its the amps on the 12v. and that one has plenty for what you will be running. and the ram that he listed the top one is tracers (have led lights on them ) and the bottom one are not tracers.

wouldnt having led lights use more voltage than having none? if it is true, will it affect overclocking?

[luke992006]

no it won't effect ocing...and i don't think it uses more voltage...that would be kind of dumb to put them there then.

you know that ppl can try to trick other ppl with cool design but it isnt good. this is a way to make the person buy them

[luke992006]

Dude you do know if you go to Microsoft's Site they let you download it right.... (works with XP, Vista and 2000) or you could just buy Vista Business, because XP Media Center isn't that great

Hey guys,

So I'm gonna get one of these ps's...

Newegg.com - OCZ GameXStream OCZ700GXSSLI 700W ATX12V Power Supply 100 - 240 V - Power Supplies
Newegg.com - COOLER MASTER Real Power Pro RS-650-ACAA-A1 650W ATX Form Factor 12V V2.3 / SSI Standard EPS 12V V2.91 Power Supply 90 - 264 V Nemko / TUV / cUL / CE / BSMI / FCC / CCC / CCC / C-tick / GOST - Power Supplies

lemme know if you guys have a preference one over the other. Also, the motherboard i have now, cant sli right? SLI is with 2 pci-e cards correct? Also the ram i was previously thinking about getting has a lifetime warranty where the crucial doesnt...just an observation.
