imperialzerg Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Hi there, lurker for a couple of weeks here and thought I would make my first post with what I recently have purchased and am awaiting to recieve in the mail. GIGABYTE GA-P35-S3L Motherboard $70 Crucial Ballistix 2GB DDR2 PC2 6400 Ram $100 XFX GeForce 7900GS 256MB DDR3 $136 Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 (will overclock from 2.66 to 3+ Ghz) $210 Cheapy Case with 500w PSU $40 Spent $556 total which even includes shipping/taxes. And then I'll just use the hard drive and dvd burner I already have. Everything look good so far though? I'll be doing web design and video editing on this badboy. (and maybe some gaming here and there) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onetrack Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Personally I don't think you're going to have any issues with that build - cheap, solid and very fast.. you'll like it for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! That's what I was hoping to hear I guess doing 2 weeks of pure research is good for something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abysmal Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Watch the cheapy power supply.. if it goes ... sometimes its better to get a decent power supply to prevent problems. Abysmal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imperialzerg Posted September 19, 2007 Author Share Posted September 19, 2007 well i installed os x86 and everything runs smooth except i can't get audio working and ide drives don't work in os x86. i just threw in a sata drive and that worked. is there an idiots guide to get ALC889A working? well the power supply is 550w and I am only taking up about 425w so I don't think it should be a problem. would it?
