KK people so i went into my local pc shop and they said that this system is shit and old and also he mumbled something with this system is incompatable. So i stood there thinking you cant be right. So before i purchase the items since this is my first build im putting together im a little scared lol so could you guys just tell me if its all good to go so i can rest in peace. What im worried about is the ide cables and sata cables and the i dont know shit about cabels being compatable

QuoteSerial ATA (SATA) hard drives are quickly becoming the new standard in hard drive technology. Motherboard manufacturers now include SATA inputs on their boards. Because of their considerably narrower cables, SATA hard drives provide increased airflow and less clutter and in the computer system compared to EIDE drives. Some older computer system motherboards don’t have SATA ports, but a PCI SATA controller card can be installed to add support for SATA drives. If you don’t know whether your computer has SATA ports on the motherboard, refer to your computer or motherboard documentation or contact the motherboard manufacturer. (copyed from WD page)



QuoteThis motherboard supports the next-generation hard drives based on the Serial ATA (SATA) 3Gb/s storage specification, delivering enhanced scalability and doubling the bus bandwidth for high-speed data retrieval and saves. The external SATA port located at the back I/O provides smart setup and hot-plug functions. Easily backup photos, videos and other entertainment contents on external devices.


as far as you can read here are those 2 products totally compatible

edit: need to check about that prob with Nine Hundred (afaik there is a problem only with Enermax PSUs)

Have learned from experience of buying shitty ram, that it just isn't as good, the ram I have now isn't the best.

huumemikko 12 Mar 2008, 20:32

change your psu for a seasonic m12 500 watts it's enough or the zalman hx 520 watts (it's a seasonic resticked) and a Noctua NH-U12F or Noctua NH-U12P.

maybe he wants to upgrade in the future, then he will need to replace his PSU also (since graphics cards keep getting more power hungry)

jeje 12 Mar 2008, 20:43
Yea if he has money for it, mine is 700 Watts ! xD
