Advice on system build and power supply?
I am building a system and would like suggestions
Intel i7 2600n
MSI x Power
12 g 1600 or better ram
diamond hd 5850 1g Card
I currently have a 4600 series diamond with 1 g I was going to use a s my second card
I was going to use my old case
I own win 7 ultimate already
My current power supply is only 350 w What size power supply would be adequate for this system
My main reason for building the machine is it seems I can get more for my money a piece at a time.
I am not an extreme user but have found over the years if I over buy on the system it will last a longer amount of time. I am not a gamer but do use graphics programs at the same time such AI, PS, CAD. my budget is about 1k-1200
Any advice from experts would be welcome
thanks I will go for the i7 950
as far as ram why only 8? the difference in price between 8 and 12 is not that much, would I not see an improvement from 8 to 12?
