Need Help building new PC

Intel Core 2 Duo E6700 2.67GHz
ATI Radeon X1950 Pro 512MB (maybe 2 in crossfire)
GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) 800MHz Ultra Low Latency DDR2 x2
Abit Fatal1ty FP-IN9 SLi nForce 650 PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboar

stuck with power supply, what power supply would you recommend for this rig? would 650w be enough ?

and also what settings will i be able to get from FSX with this rig?

thanks for any help

I have 6700
ATi 1950X (2 512's) in crossfire.
4 gig ram, I'm still on XP but Vista will need the 4.
650 will make it but keep the USB peripherals to a minimum. a 700-750w would be best.
I max out most everything, I don't have an AI traffic yet, that will eat FPS.
I have the Intel 975X board

ye i was thinking that 2 1950's would be betta than a 2900 for the same price, right ??

considering fsx doesnt need dx10 yet... or does it ?? 😕

ye i was looking at a 600w but might bump it upto 700w

If I bought it now I would either go to a cheap card until DX 10 comes out or go bust and get the DX 10 card now.
DX 10 will be out in the fall...or so they say.

oki i think ill go with the cheaper card... or 2 😎

u no anything about the mobo i choose? was recommended by a mate who has just custom built,

would it do the job well enough or will i need a more capable mobo ?

(only thing i dont understand is mobos hehe)

Neither do I, someone else will be along for that.

don't
understand? don't know how to google?
don't bother to read?
then don't build.

why google when i can ask a knowledgeable person here for advice and learn in the process

Well... i can tell you that the board you chose is SLI, not Crossfire... so no dual 1950's for you! Either get Nvidia Cards (which I highly reccomend over ATI) or change the processor to an AM2 and you will have more choices of Crossfire boards.

i've seen many of boards that are crossfire and fit my proc... just dont undertsnad if they very good hehe

and that was a nooby mistake with board hehe

is this one any betta >> http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-076-GI&groupid=701&catid=5&subcat=565

That is the crossfire version of the same board that I have... and I have pushed this board to its max and it keeps on going.

so is it worth it then? heard its very good..

is it compatible with the configuration i;ve posted above ?

Yes, it is compatible...

I would change the memory to this... Patriot Memory
