Depends on your resolution.
[QUOTE=Odellus;23746461]Depends on your resolution.[/QUOTE] I run at 1680 x 1050.
1gb would be better suited.
[QUOTE=xxncxx;23748891]1gb would be better suited.[/QUOTE] no, 768 is fine for 1680x1050.
[QUOTE=Odellus;23749267]no, 768 is fine for 1680x1050.[/QUOTE] Ok.

Pay out on a decent branded PSU. If not, you'll regret it. If something goes wrong you won't just loose the psu, you could loose your whole rig. Don't back out and take the risky option.
He's changed it to an awesome Corsair PSU now [editline]03:27PM[/editline] That's about the best quality PSU you can get

Looks pretty decent to me except I'm not too sure about the rosewill case. I used to own a destroyer and it was a piece of shit.
I don't know about the case, but everything else is good.

[QUOTE=Odellus;23764094]god shutup[/QUOTE] What the fuck is wrong with that?

[QUOTE=ghostofme;23767971]Case is good.[/QUOTE] It's OK which isn't so great as the case is the longest-lasting part of a build. There are better cases out there but the Rosewill Challenger is the best for the money, even though you definitely want to put more money into the case.

There are better cases out there but the Rosewill Challenger is the best for the money, even though you definitely want to put more money into the case.[/QUOTE] It's a $40 case. And considering what you get for that $40 makes it a good case. And of course there are better cases out there. But all your case needs to do its hold the parts, give you good airflow and act sexy for you.
[QUOTE=thf;23765435]What the fuck is wrong with that?[/QUOTE] He makes a lot of posts like that. Corsair is a pretty good manufacturer, but unless you go into their AX line they're not going to be as good as some of the stuff from PC P&C/Seasonic/other reputable OEMs. [editline]07:58PM[/editline] and you're coming off as a massive corsair fanboy

[QUOTE=thf;23775049]Sorry, didn't mean to be a fanboy, to me, Corsair is a very reputable brand.[/QUOTE] You're overrating it though man.
Yeah, perhaps. But it's reliable enough for that build.
