What power supply have you got? what is the make and model of it?

Are you on a budget? if not, i reccoment you get the logitech Z-5500 DIGITAL THX speakers, there amazing!

O ya i forgot i have the one that came with the case but im goin to get a new one. I dont really know much about power supplies but o well. Hows the rest look?

Yea the rest looks ok, i wouldent just get any powersupplys, it’s important you know what to get, for a system like your you need a decent power suply with i would say at least 35A on 12V rail, or prefrebly Dual 12V rails, also rated at about 450-500Watt, getting a cheap powersupply could make your system perform bad and also could do damage!

Other than the speakers and sound card, its all good, maybe sound card will be ok for you though :slight_smile:

looks ok to me, good choice of HDD, Antec are good PSU’s, check this although if your on a budget i personally have a Tagen TG330 UI (could be wrong about last initials)
