criticone Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Hi everybody, it's my 1st post. I'm going to buy: Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 3.2Ghz Gigabyte EP45C-DS3R P45 PCI-E GeForce 9800GT 512Mb GDDR-3 Is everything compatible? I am (or at least I think I am) a power-user, so I'm pretty sure I could work out some of the problems I might encounter. I'm not listing anything else from my custom build, as I suppose that other components (Hard drive, memory, APC) don't matter that much as long as they are compatible with the 3 above. Am I right? Thank you for your help, I was surprised to discover today such a big community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LogicalUser Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 so long as your DVD drive is SATA, the rest of your parts should be fine. a SATA hard drive would also be a good idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

criticone Posted December 21, 2008 Author Share Posted December 21, 2008 Just a quick thought: if I use two GeForce 9800GT instead of just one, will this make my setup a good setup for video editing? I'm confused... should I get a quad-core instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
