When he said "better", he meant get a known brand that won't ignite when you turn it on.

I saw this on Oprah or something as I walked downstairs. Their parents have no problem with it, in fact they encourage it.

I don't know who told you that, but 550w is plenty for your rig.

oh and costs about the same, but is a little better than the video card you picked out http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161296
The 4850 is actually slightly worse than the GTS 250, but we're talking 1 to 2 fps here and there. Since they're so close in performance in price, you should just pick whichever brand tickles your fancy.

There's your first mistake.

Installers sometimes create separate folders that don't go away when you uninstall. Find and destroy them before you reinstall.

8800 -> 9800 -> 250
Nvidia rebranded the 8800 three times. If the 4670 is better than I would get it over a gts 250.
Yeah sure, if rebranding means making a new card that performs better, runs cooler and has a new name.
The 4670 is slightly worse than a 9600, don't get it.

« on: May 12, 2010, 07:39:18 PM »Oh, and another quick question. Once I get everything to the best of my knowledge correctly installed, can I turn it on and check that all the hardware is registering in the BIOS?
No, once you are done building the computer you can never turn it on.
