You're gonna want a 'decent' PSU ...one between $100-200 i'd imagine over there. Don't buy that cheap bollocks. A bad PSU'll cost you in the long run, guaranteed.

That's why I bought a $170 PSU. I have a literal pile of failed PSUs I've accumulated over the years.

The power supply that's included with the case is just fine. Antec is not cheapo stuff.

I would also just like Flies suggest that you get a slightly better CPU.
Not every administrator is called Flies.

protip: the choices of peripherals in this topic are terrible
Go into a damn store and see what you like for yourself. Just because the G* keyboards look so damn fancy with their blinkenlights, doesn't mean they're good to type on.

Oh, on a side note, you might want to ask the same question here if you haven't already.(FOr those who don't understand Finnish, it is the leading hardware-focusing website/community in Finland).

BTW, where are you ordering from?

Verkkokauppa.com. I just need to know if the Sapphire card is enough to run something like Battlefield 2 or Hitman Blood Money well. I just need to get this computer together quickly, because I have a LAN party coming in few weeks. Yeah I know Hitman isn't a LAN game.

Are you kidding? That card is like 3 times better than what I have, and I can still run BF2 on medium/high.

Try considering Multitronic.fi, way cheaper, even the shipment costs few euros more. All I can say is positive about them, and I have made some 5 orders from them, and will do more if I need to get something. And yes, the card IS fast enough for all of the recent games. It can quite much run Crysis @ high aswell, depending on resolution etc. But it is enough for today, and it is enough for tomorrow and for the day after tomorrow aswell. ;)

Well, I am getting the monitor from Multitronic, what a coincidence.

Thank you people for your advices. I'll post again when the parts have arrived. It may take a few weeks.
