First of all: I'm rather bad making builds, last time I picked pretty much all wrong stuff, had to replace pretty much everything. Now all those components need an update its time for a retry! (With some help of you guys)
I'm thinking of buying a PC and chose the following specs, I'm wondering if you guys could check it out:
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E8400, Socket 775
RAM: Kingston KVR800D2N5K2/4G,4096MB, DDR2
Videocard: Sapphire Radeon HD4850,GDDR3, PCI Express x16
Antec EarthWatts,Retail, 650Watt
Motherboard: ???
As you can see its a bit of a budget pc and because I'm not experienced with overclocking and the kind of person I am, I think I'm too afraid blowing up something or badly reducing the lifetime of my hardware. :/
Oke nows where the questions come:
- I have a hardtime to decide what motherboard I should be picking, all these chipsets just make my head spin.
- The RAM: I've read about timings in the FAQ and even tho I didn't fully understand it, I can't really make out the timings on my RAM?
- Is 650W overkill on PSU?
- Any other comments on my build are welcome
---
If there's anything I forgot to say, forgive me :<
Thanks for your help and time, its appreciated
