Check My Spec Please

Im using my existing 8800GT in there, is this PSU decent enough? Case okay? CPU Cooler okay?

looks good apart from the CPU cooler.

You could go for the Turiq Tower or the artic freezer pro 7.

I take it you have a graphics card already

The Stealthstream PSU isn't that stealthy. I would go with Seasonic for quietness and decent power (or Corsair, made by Seasonic).

My ninja edit beat you

Yeh i have a 8800GT from my existing dell machine that ill use.

Does the Turiq Tower come with a fan? Is it quiet? Noise is a concern as its in my living room.

Yes it does, and no it isn't! Not on full anyway. Put a sharkoon fan in it instead.

Switch the cooler for the Tuniq, the PSU for the Corsair HX520 and I would change the case for a LianLi, but that is more personal taste than anything.

change the cooler i say, that bubble pump got a few stinking reviews from what i've seen

Better case, you will regret the A900

I might spend a bit more and a get £100 odd lian li, i like the look of them, its going in my living room as i say, so looks and noise is a concern.

Here is the revised spec. Will this memory work with the board okay?

Metalface Mark · 8 Nov 2007 at 11:01

After a bit of tweakage - this is my final build.

What he said, that case is a fantastic looker, but not to sure on the Speakers, i would have gone with a nice 5.1.

I already have 5.1 speakers, but where the pc sits, they are not infront, they are used when im watching films on my HD TV, i needed a secondary set to plug in.

I pretty much changed the whole spec - ended up going for the nvidia stacker case, 850w coolermaster PSU, asus wifi board and 22" pebble samsung monitor

Looks nice-one thing, though, does the Stacker have a window? If not save a fiver and get the Tuniq without LEDs.

The Tuniq without leds was not in stock, actually because of the delivery costs, I ended up getting it from somewhere else, unfortuantely overclockers wanted £38 to deliver it all, so i ended up with a thermaltake 120 cooler instead.

It was disapointing as I didnt get exactly the right spec i wanted, but the £40 was basically giving me the speakers pretty much free.
