only couple problems...
that PSU isn't enuff. Between the CPU, VGA, RAM and motherboard - you'll be out of juice with a 550w.
CPU alone will eat 95w
9800GX2 eats 197w (not counting cooling fan usage either)
Motherboard can easily eat 75w or more at the bridge chips and the mosfets. (plus any other onboard components)
RAM - about 10-15w per 1GB @ 8GB = 80-120w
========
487watts for the above...
and thats not counting the other equipment like: the cooling fan on the CPU or video card, case fans, sound or network cards, harddrives, CD/DVD drives, keyboard, mouse, or USB equipment.
550w is also the peak rating, sustained rating is probably 15-20% lower than peak. ...which is right about the total I came up with short of the other equipment.
---------
CPU cooling? you gonna use OEM HSF or aftermarket? look at another $40-60 for a good aftermarket HSF.
Other than that - nice line up of goodies. |
