Re: First comp build. Are they compatible?

seems fine, everything should work together.
but i might recommend a better PSU because with the case its 50 dollars, and man thats pretty cheap also its a 450 watt, so most likely it'll be trash.

Re: First comp build. Are they compatible?

That what you reccomend i get for my specs? What if i built this computer with the built in power supply and later when i had the money to spare, replaced it with that one. Would it be that hard to switch? is it simple plug and go?

Re: First comp build. Are they compatible?

Microcenter has good prices on some things, not on others...and their in store specials can beat newegg...I think they also pricematch...

I would not recommend that graphics card...IMHO it's better to get 512 mb of GDDR3 than 1gb of GDDR2.
