Re: Planning Build
Spend $$$ on your power supply = PSU. Buy all your memory at the same time. If you can please be more specific. Your computer goals what operating system your uses for it. Types of software you use, hardware you use? What type and how many drives you want in it? These details will help generate suggestions. Below is the Gigabytes suggestions on memory. Be sure to read the details. I believe some are in Chinese. Use your translator.------>

Re: Planning Build
I do not believe anyone will disagree. The speed and cooling comes from power so the best advise I can give you is spend $$$ on your PSU.Last edited by artdrivers; 07-07-2009, 05:22 PM.http://forums.tweaktown.com/gigabyte...ench-test.html

Re: Planning Build
I don't know. Seasonic or Channel Well? You are better off with the single 12v rail from everything I have 'red'. The 620HV has 3 12v rails. The end results wont be known for many years to come. No if you were going into the $$$ get the corsair 750TX. It has a larger fan and MORE POWER at a good price.
