1. Is professional wiring worth it? The company I'm buying from claims it helps air flow. 2. Is there a big difference between 8800GTS 640MB and a GTX? 3. Is Mushkin RAM really any better than normal RAM?
I have some questions. 1. Is there a big difference between 8800GTS and the GTX one? 2. Now that I'm only getting one card, is 650W power supply too much or too little? 3. What is a good motherboard you would reccomend, that is not SLI enabled and will hold all of my parts, along with any possible minor additions I might make in the future? 4. How big of a Hard Drive? Is 250 good? 5. For those of you who think I'm getting ripped-off, what do you recommend?
I've been console gaming since I was five, and now I'm moving up to PC. I need feedback on my wanted tech specs. Please tell whether to get rid of something useless or add/replace something. TRY TO KEEP IT UNDER $1600! I can live if it goes a little over, if the boost is good. I am customizing my AMD X2 [Socket AM2] at ibuypower.com, so go there to see options for customization. Don't suggest any cosmetic changes please. Whoever reads all of this and responds appropriately is extremely kind. Thanks a lot. If there's anything I can do for you in the future, let me know.
