| Re: Building a PC few general questions specific to hardware im getting Actually thats what I was saying... but apparently it only works for XP and 2000, but you could get it to run on Vista using compatibility mode

| Re: Building a PC few general questions specific to hardware im getting the g.skill has faster mhz but has higher timings (the lower the better). timings are more important then mhz so the crucial ballistix would be the better choice.

| Re: Building a PC few general questions specific to hardware im getting Whats the decision on the PSU? If you want to save money you could get the Corsair 520hx but if you really really want a stronger psu then the Corsair 620hx is plenty of power and has excellent 12v rails.

| Re: Building a PC few general questions specific to hardware im getting ^^ if he is going to get a 520hx he might as well get a pc power and cooling 610w...they are around the same price now.

 | Re: Building a PC few general questions specific to hardware im getting I agree...the Silencer is one amazing PSU now that it's price is down. It has 9 more amps than the 520HX. I choose the 520HX becuase I needed modular though and 40A is plenty enough for me. Plus I got it for 89.99 shipped hehehe. However the PCP&C 610 silencer is an amazing PSU for the price.
