Building a PC

a decent sound card makes a difference if you have a decent pair of speakers/headphones that plug into the sound card.

my number one rule when building pcs, or giving advice to people building pcs, is this. overspend on the psu.

getting a decent brand will ensure it doesn't fuck up on you, and if it does you have a nice warrentee (sp?). also, it allows you to be sure you're ok for power, should you want to upgrade in the future. whether it be a new graphics card, new hdd, a 2nd graphics card...it will need more power.

i've seen 2 people now who have just "lol ya wateva man ill just get wat i barely need itll b fine" and then when they decide they want to upgrade, buy thier shit, nothing works. oh look your psu isn't powerful enough HAHAHA FUCKING BELLEND SHOULD HAVE LISTENED TO ME RIGHT??HUH?????COCK.

uh

yeah so, no i don't need it but its a good rule of thumb for future proofing. i am thinking about possibly doing xfire sometime in the distant future so yeah.

This guy makes sense.

I like OCZ lately. I took a shot in the dark with them a few years ago after swearing by their RAM products, and ended up jumping on the OCZ bandwagon as well. They are clean (come with detachable wires that are already wrapped for a cleaner look), not really overpriced, and I never had a problem with them. Never had an issue with their memory either.

Onboard audio has some a very long way and works just fine for the average user.
