I already have a monitor, speakers, HDD, DVD, keyboard, mouse, and OS. I just want someone to look over this to confirm that I didn't pick anything stupid.

Budget is 300 USD before shipping.

Use the money you saved to purchase this so you can upgrade the video card later on (maybe get a 4850):

I have to say, that looks like a pretty solid little build for 300 dollars. I have no qualms in terms of parts used. :)

4670: 400 Watt or greater power supply (550 Watt for ATI CrossFireX™ technology in dual mode)

4850: 450 Watt or greater power supply with 75 Watt 6-pin PCI Express® power connector recommended (550 Watt and two 6-pin connectors for ATI CrossFireX™ technology in dual mode)

Of course the manufacturer will over clock and adjust the cards. The required Wattage will vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.

Of course I'm going to overclock it, why would I not? I'm going to overclock the GPU too.

Also, I'm putting Windows 7 on it until the RC is expired, and then I'll either pirate a copy, or use one of my billions of spare XP product codes.


I'm also planning on eventually adding another GPU in Crossfire.
