About PSUs: Well, what I did for my build to determine the wattage was first calculate how much wattage I needed. It came to around 475W. Then I changed the video card from 1 to 2, and the wattage went up to 600W. The reason I did this was if I want to SLI/Crossfire my system I'd know how much power I'd need. Keeping the 600W in mind, I got the "cheapest" PSU with the highest wattage, a Raidmax 730W PSU. Now I have the freedom of adding parts without having to worry about my PSU. Nothing wrong with extra wattage at your disposal, even if it's a couple hundred of them! :p As Queen said, it's not good to buy a cheap PSU, I spent around $50 on mine but many will tell you to spend $100 on a brand like Corsair or Antec. Honestly, I don't think you need one of these brand name ones. Just look at the user rating for whichever PSU you're going to buy. If lots of people are saying it dies on them, do not buy it! If the PSU has a high rating, then I'd say you're safe with it. It's been a year and this PSU is giving me no issues whatsoever. Beware though, there are some real crappy PSU's you don't want to touch. Here's a 600W Corsair I just found on Tigerdirect. Here's the PSU I have. Unfortunately I couldn't find it on Tigerdirect. I'm not sure if you can order from Newegg, but I'd highly recommend this PSU! Honestly I think you'll be fine with the PSU included with the kit. I'd say buy a different one only if you need more wattage. As for the graphics card, take a look at this this, it'll be worth the extra 20-30 bucks ;). I think the card you're looking at will be a bit "eh."

Yeah those black Lamborghini rims have been released. They're on here somewhere...

You don't ;) All you do is plug in your graphics card into an open expansion bay, install the drivers, and you're good to go. (You may have to set the default graphics card as the new one under system management). :) And you'll be glad if you get the i5, my friend has one in his computer and it's really quick.

Well, first ways to save money on a PC Build: 1) Go cheap on the case. Nobody really needs a $100+ case unless they're building a supercomputer that needs cooling. I'd say spend no more than $30 on a case. 2) Don't buy a sound card. For the vast majority of us, the integrated sound from the motherboard is more than enough. 3) Look at barebones kits. These kits bundle parts together at a lower price. I found THIS kit that comes with a case, 4GB RAM, an Intel i5 processor, 550W PSU, 1TB HDD, and a motherboard. There are tons of these kits on most online computer retailers. Answers to your questions: -Yes, you just plug in the parts into their respective slots, and when you power on the computer it will automatically go into the bios screen. -It's not hard at all. All you do is turn on the system, open the CD drive, pop in the OS CD, and the OS CD will take it from there ;). -Use THIS tool to calculate the amount of wattage you need from your PSU. The least you can go is what the calculator tells you. However, I tend to buy a PSU that is much larger than what I need because if I decide to buy a new video card I won't have to worry about upgrading the PSU as well :) -I'm pretty sure that whatever you build will play TDU1 with no issues and TDU2 on medium/high settings (depends on what graphics card you get). Hope this helps :)

:lol: @ Ganga car :p

I saw a 2011 Chrysler 300 today. In person. My life is complete.

^ You do realize he was writing in a satirical way.

To each his own ;). I think your 'Stang would look better without stripes anyways. That body style is like the Grand Tourer version of the Mustang. IMO the stripes should just be on fastbacks and tuned convertibles. I can't wait to see the new pics!

Lol he is, trust me ;)

Wow! That looks beautiful Minime!! I can't wait to see the interior!! :drool:

Thanks Combat!! +rep for this awesome mod! E: Must spread :(

^ That would make it look like a national flag!!!

Damn! Deleted before I could download it!! I was really looking forward for this car... :(

Small rims just makes a car look cheap. Larger rims tend to give cars a more premium look (that's not to say 26" fat chrome lipped rims give a car a premium look, but I'm sure you get what I mean ;)) Case in point: -- OLD IMAGE REMOVED (imageshack) -- Why do you want your BMW to look like it costs less than a Ford? That's just stupid. :cheeky: As for the small 5-series, maybe it just looked small because I was in a 300? :p

Well I suppose painting your current steelies white would do the job. I think white rims on white cars look nice.

Saw quite a few things today: The new Taurus SHO 60's Mustang Dodge Charger SRT-8 Pontiac G8 GT Porsche 911 997 2011 Dodge Chargers 2011 BMW 5-Series Aston Martin V8 Vantage, which my friend thought was a Chrysler. How the hell he did that idk :confused: Much to my surprise, the new 5-series looks really small. At first I thought it was a 3-series, it isn't much larger than one.

^ Retro-fitted ones are the ones that blind you ;). However if the owner installs a projector headlight kit, then the aftermarket HID lights will work properly.

:btup This is what I love so much about old cars!

Lol I was about to say that. With those red taillight tints, do the indicators and reverse lights still show amber/white?

Voted for Leadfoot. I love the car and scenery behind it :)

:omg: Awesome Pagani!! :thumbsup:
