Building a Computer... Advice on parts list please?

Hello this is my first attempt to build a pc. I have selected a list of parts and I would really love to here your advice on better parts to get. Cost in not really an issue i'm trying to stay under 5k.





I don't know what OP to go with for gaming?


I have used XP for years but I was thinking about trying Vista. Should I of so 64bit or 32bit?





I'm not sure if all my parts will work togather I'm just trying to build the most high performance system I can. How much ram and whay type is best? I was thinking 8gb ddr3 Should I get more i'm no were near my budget? Please advise me on the fans how many or maybe a brand?





Do you know of my graphics card is any good I really want a top end graphics card?

Thanks so much for all the advice I know I had a ton of questionBuilding a Computer... Advice on parts list please?
your PSU is useless, it would be much useful if your is a GTX280 SLI or a 4870 CF or a 4870x2. try changing to another harddrive, some SSD are not stable. Building a Computer... Advice on parts list please?
All you did was select the most expensive parts and put it on here a ATI Firegel is a workstation graphics card not a gaming graphics card try the ATI 4870x2 or Nvidia GTX280. The processor is a joke first of all nothing even uses Quad core so its just going to be a waste plus if you don't overclock might as well get the same exact processor the Q9650 but the best processor is the E8400 because both of those processors are made from those 2 cores. If your going to get a Intel motherboard get the ASUS Rampage its a lot better. DDR3 is a big waste and not needed DDR2 Dominator is the best . Your case sucks get the Antec 1200. Don't you dare buy a SSD get a Rapter drive. You do not need a 1200psu get like a ABS 950 or 1000. And the best fans are Aerocools.
Screw Fans, water cool that puppy
Vista 64bit = more than the 3.5 GB limit of 32bit.


DDR2 works fine, get the 800 MHz stuff.


And because it's not DDR3, you have SLi technology for the MB.





OK, so the run down I would do is Vista Ultimate, DDR2 pc2-6400, that $1000 plus Intel Quad Extreme CPU, I don't know about the MB, just the best 775 socket available in standard ATX form factor, and since it runs cooler than most quads out there, just get the best CPU fan and several case fans for the sizzling memory, maybe even some memory coolers. For the PSU, does 850W sound stable?





This should be way way below your 5k budget, but if you wanted to know what the next step would be...try $450 Xeon processors for servers with a $350 e-ATX MB used for mega-data processing with eight 4 GB ram modules. The only other thing that tops this...is the IMB POWER6 CPU running 4.7 GHz for $1500(?) and roughly $20,000 for the finished blade server.
The video card is not made for gaming.





DDR3 RAM is not worth it.





1200W PSU is not needed...



how much money do you have?!?! :/





Well the video card you chose is not for gaming. Get a HD4870 or GTX 280.





1200W PSU is way unnecessary. You'll be fine with any PSU with over 30A on the 12V rails combined.





You'll probably also want another hard drive that's not SSD, a disk drive, simply because the disk drive is that much bigger in capacity.





If you want to use more than 3GB RAM (yes), use a 64bit OS.





You probably only need an exhaust fan somewhere on the case, preferably blowing out hot air generated by the CPU. If you plan on overclocking or consistently heavy loading the CPU, get an aftermarket cooler too.





Fans are completely your choice. Noisy but powerful or quiet and weak? Newegg reviews and ratings are good for telling which fan is good/bad.
