About to order the following parts, I have selected a nice power supply after many people said to invest in the corsair brand. I just changed from wintec to mushkin ram. Tell me if i can save money anywhere, or let me know about any other suggestions. I would go with intel, but i cant afford it. Also, I have a cd drive and an external 250 gig so i have plenty of storage and a perfectly good drive.

good call, didnt read.  haha, thanks for showing me that.  i think ill go ahead and order from them because even with the two day shipping on zip zoom it comes out under 100 bucks making it a better deal.  wooo new pc finally!  now i just need money for bills.

That Enermax is seriously way too overpriced.. =/

 

OCZ's StealthXStream 600W is cheaper, higher quality (72 amps on four 12V rails compared to 44 amps on two 12V rails)

The Corsair 520HX was a good suggestion though.Â
