As for the PSU, I have this one picked out: [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817256016[/url]
but seeing as you only have a 9800 you can settle for something a lot cheaper
(but the PSU is a really good deal though, should set you up for future upgrades nicely)

Ha, I love that CPU combo there. Very funny.
But he still needs a case and HDD.

Lol. I gotta search for those combos. Also wtfshitboom? someone is having a paintball gun fight in my alley way.
Those games will pretty much only use 2 cores anyway. A quad-core can be purchased later if he really needs it. For now, dual core will lower the CPU price, allowing for a better motherboard or memory.

The Rana is a great value CPU. Also, who is corsairs OEM or do they make their own ram.
[del]Seasonic is Corsairs OEM for Power Supplies.[/del]
Pretty sure Corsair makes their own RAM.

Why did you delete tag "SeaSonic is Corsairs OEM for power supplies". It's true. What I asked was if they make their own ram or if they contract somebody to do it for them. Thank you for awnsering my question.
Because you were talking about RAM.
[editline]23rd December 2010[/editline]
And yes, they do make their own modules.
