Complete newbie, first build

[mikeyp123]

why would he want a separate one??? the onboard sound on motherboards these days is excellent and unless he's doing studio work it's a complete waste of money

Nvm I misread what VST instruments were. Assumed he'd need more than one SDIF input

Can you guys tell me if this:

Is a decent alternative to the OcUK Value one?

The MSI cards are excellent, they get great reviews.

And it'll still fit in OK? Looks a lot...bulkier than the OcUK Value one. :3

+1 for the MSI cards...

I'm very picky when it comes to makes of graphics cards but MSI is one I would go for...

Ohh oh, important question: will the MSI card be OK with this PSU:

Stulid said earlier that it only has 2 PCIE connectors? Will that be an issue with the MSI card?

All the GTX 460s use 2x 6 pin connectors, it'll be fine.

yes, it will be more than adequate
