Unfortunate! Then, I reccomend

Asus A8N-E

and

eVGA 7600GT CO

That is a good combo, combined with the processor and the RAM, for a mid-level gaming computer. Easy upgrade to a 7800/7900 class videocard later, but will still handle recent games quite decently.

Case would likely have to be either a SuperLANBoy or a P160, of which both are of really good quality and are favored by builders like me.

I've gone through the window phase before, and it's a lot of effort to keep everything neat in there.

Power Supply will have to be bought separately, and I reccommend the Fortron 400W for a cheap yet reliable power supply. I always use this for my cheaper builds.

The Logisys/Xion are of a merely acceptable build quality, and that's not talking about the power supply yet! Friend's PSU blew in about a week of use, and the forums are filled with such stories. Don't skimp on the case and PSU! It'll always come back to bite you in the beee-hind later on.

EDIT: Of course, wait for the sale tonight before ordering. NCIX puts stuff up on sale really, really often, especially for videocards, RAM, HDD, and LCD.

EDIT2: Yes, Black and White. And discs cost... lots more, and are somewhat hard to find. For example, NCIX has a 50 CD spindle for the same price as a 10-pack of Lightscribe CD's.

Excellent! Wait for the sale before ordering anything.

Case seem to be a bit expensive for you?

not expensive, i just want a black one because all my other computer related stuff is black so a big silver or aluminum box would drive me crazy, even if it looks as cool as the ones you showed me.

after reviewing cart, i can spend $200 on case/psu.
 
Mar 30, 2006 at 3:50 AM Post #55 of 69
Hm, if the PSU on the Xion goes... it'll likely take the CPU/Motherboard/other component with it. That's why if you want to swap it out, do it immediately after buying.

actually i decided to go with the superLAN boy after all

, now need a super reliable psu. Should i go for the one you suggested or is there better ones at ncix?

how do you get them to build it?

Antec PSU's are excellent, and so are Fortron and Enermax. Any of them that is 400W + should do nicely.

Good choice on the SuperLANBoy, it's a nice case.

To get them to build it, put all the stuff in the cart and add "System Assembly" add this to the cart System Assembly.

If I were you, I'd look into Seasonic. Similar prices to Antec, very high quality, and they have a single slow 120mm fan, so it's very quiet. They're quite popular among people who want a low noise PSU.
