This is a good thread cause its some pretty powerful and inexpensive hardware you guys have listed.. being on a low budget myself I want to make sure I get the right parts accordingly. So far I've tossed
...
AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ Windsor 3.0GHz 2 x 1MB L2 Cache Socket AM2 125W Dual-Core Processor - Retail
GIGABYTE GA-M57SLI-S4 AM2 NVIDIA nForce 570 SLI MCP ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail
G.SKILL 2GB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Desktop Memory - Retail
...to my wish list but that power supply seems awfully expensive... is that for a good reason as in necessary for all of this to run and get properly cooled or is there another inexpensive powersupply that does about the same job without the extra cooling (if that's the case) cause I'm not planning to overclock or anything assuming thats why you'd need $149.99 powersupply. I'll probably drop the money into it still just to make sure everything gets cooled and powered correctly for this setup it just stings a little to pay that price but I guess each piece regardless of their role will cost some amount
