That power supply is a piece of SHIT!! DO NOT BUY IT! I am partial with PC Power & Cooling PSU's. Seriously, by a PCP&C PSU, now that OCZ bought them, there prices have dropped over 50% in the last 4 months, and there quality is untouchable. Get the 610w PCP&C psu from newegg, and you'll have a PSU for life. Everything else you listed is "OK" If your on a small budget, just use the built in sound from the motherboard, but if you dont like that idea, that card you listed is great for "studio quality audio" just not good for games, as the built in audio processor wont "accelerate" EAX enabled games. no biggie though, were only talking about a 2-3FPS hit. As far as a cooler goes, I only watercool my PC's so you might want to look into that. You can get a "Good" setup for under 150$, but if air cooling is all you want, get this...... http://www.petrastechshop.com/thulhecpucos.html . I buy ALL MY COOLING STUFF from these guys. There the best on the net, ALEX, and Quoc (The owners) stand behind there stuff 100%. THere customer feedback is rediculous, nearly off the charts!

Slinky Posted June 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 (edited) sounds good. id like to have better sound than just onboard, so what would be a better card for eax? must have optical ouput.

newls1 Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 only cards that accelerate EAX are creative. XF-i cards are excellent, but can get pricey. For $100 you can get a PCI-e version XF-i with onboard 64mb ram (great for games like Unreal/doom/farcry/bunch of games...........
