You can probably find some combos and shave 50-80$ off the price of what you're getting.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.308232 - gives you a better card and a good PSU, though costs a bit more

Also, maybe opt for 4 GB memory, and not 2 GB. It isn't necessary, but memory's cheap enough, and 4's a good amount to have.

EDIT: Also, there are many cheaper mid towers out there.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119137 - free shipping is great to have on cases

The card requires 450w, the psu there is 380w.

Really, this is something I wouldn't even risk. The requirement is there for a reason. When I was new'ish to pc hardware, I fried two gpu's because I didn't know anything about power supplies. Of course it was a very old Dell and it took about 9 months for each to go dead but still - after that, I personally would feel a little paranoid straining a card even a little without even meeting the req.

Occasionally on Newegg you'll see comments from people saying that they're running a card with a weaker psu, but the damage isn't something that happens overnight. It'll screw you over in the long run and even has a slight chance to fck up more than the gpu.


Get a seperate case and psu. It'll be tons better compared to that case/psu combo. Again, keep in mind the possible future damage from having a weak psu.

I tried what you said, but it brough the total to like $600. It was supposed to be $500 and $540 was kinda pushing it. xD

^reminds me of the PC I built...I was only supposed to spend 300...I ended up in the 400s >

@Parasitic

ah i didnt check the Power supply i should have done but i skimmed over it. :(

@Conner52

I really dont know about the size mate. Maybe you should check the motherboard lay out and find out the dimensions of the card.

Well, what you already had included a shitty PSU to begin with.

Give me a few, I'll put together something good for less than 500 for you. >_>

EDIT: Okay

comes to 504+shipping

Or, for 40$ more, replace that CPU/mobo combo with: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.304701

From what I see it adds to...$600 >_> And it has no hard drive.

There are some pretty awesome deals on at present. The HD 5750 uses only ~84W I believe under load and it barely needs a 6 pin PCI-E power plug. It shouldn't tax a PSU too much and the numbers they give as the guidelines are wayyyy over the top to prevent any liability from people with cheap PSUs with heavily over-rated wattage ratings running hot CPUs from blowing up their systems.

Mail-in rebates, 55$ of them.

But it seems I did forget an HDD. <____<

So can you suggest something else? Heh xD
