Hey guys, long story shot someone is buying my uncel some computer parts of his choice and i was just wondering if the ones listed below would work together. He just needs a few parts as he has the rest so i would like your comments. If it can go cheaper that would be great as well. He cant spend to much.

maybe get the antec psu? 35 buckers. better built than the ocz,i believe

 

[cruisx]

Ill take a look. I chose the psu cause I have the same one and it works good. Other than that the build is good to go?

Res usually below 1080p and he mostly plays fsx. Ye its 32bit windows so that is why I went with 4gigs.

good.

I won't recommend a OCZ PSU, I had one died on me. The power supplies Dan suggested are more reliable than the OCZ.

 

[Jaydu]

looks pretty good

I have had no problem with my ocz modxstream 700 watts psu.

+1 for another brand of psu, OCZ do good stuff but PSU is not of them.
