Gaming build advice

trevor16 · Nov 15, 2010

Hey guys I am going to order a new build soon hopefully by the end of this week if everything goes right. Here is my build and I just want you guys to check if everything is compatible and will fit in my case (I am a newb when it comes to stuff like this and I don't want to mess up!

BTW: please dont complain that the PSU is bad. Sure its from a unkown brand but some people recommended it to me and the 650W version got a good review from this site:

Looks good, not sure about the case fitting things properly... You'll have to check out reviews and compare your build to theirs.

Also, it mentions your PSU is a bit longer than most, look into that for the case.

Last, that PSU seems solid other than the close to out-of-spec 3.3V and 5V rails, and a bit high on the rippld 12V. But it checks out.

Hey Diaz, I did some searching on google and found this video where somebody has a saphire HD 6850 but I dont know if that has the same dimensions as the XFX HD6580.

Dimensions of the case are (WxDxH) 20 cm x 50.1 cm x 43 cm (no idea is this the inside of the case or the total size of the case :S
Dimensions of the XFX card are (WxDxH) 3.8 cm x 23.5 cm x 11.2 cm
Depth 50.1 cm
Height 43 cm

BTW are you sure 100% that everything works with each other because I have no clue when it comes to PC components

Thanks so much
