You said you have 240 watt. it wont able to keep up with a mid range and high ended video card. Nevertheless, it depend on model and series of videocard's require 350watt and up..

Jake, You can use any power supply for computer. They already design for all volts over world but different power plug.

Newegg.com - ENERMAX ECO80+ EES400AWT 400W ATX12V V2.31 Crossfire Ready Compatible w/Core i7 80PLUS Certified w/Magnetic Magma Fan Active PFC Power Supply - Power Supplies

Read spec
"Input Voltage 100 - 240 V"

Nothing to worry about it.

Wow, Impossbile- single video card & Core i7 itself isnt running High Frame rate (FPS) 352.-- something like that.. But i believe the fast FPS running by the triple high-ended video cards or double video card with Core i7. ;)


I am glad that you desire to build your own rig. thats super coolest! i can't wait to see your beautiful rig in next year.. ;)


I am wondering if you had built your own rig before? If not, you should open your dell PC case to see what it look like and get an idea. I advice you, go store to see what the PC hardware they have in stock and price as wise budget and afforable. But I am not sure what kind of investment you looking for economic rig, or a mid-range rig, or High ended rig? ;)

I dont see your post of what the band of AMD or Intel you really loyal to? its most important to you. But you mentioned that want your rig run with a server as well. I highly suggest you, its intel. Plus I have seen the most software developer/or software engineer's their pc running intel and can keep up with a server.. like darkage's suggest Duo 2 Core.

In bold, you can get 300 fps on single graphic card if use basic 3-D like darkage posted video, not complex 3-D like Modern Warfare, Dead Space, etc.

Depends on graphic card, for my most experience with GeForce, if number is start at 9300, 9400 so it is entry level, good for daily computers with light gaming, 9600 is mid-range and 9800 is high end, from start GT, GTS, GTX, I own 9800 GTX that is high end in GeForce 9 series. GeForce 200 series is much superior to GeForce 9 series like 260 GTX is faster than 9800 GTX but maybe closer on some games. You can max out almost all games with just one GeForce GTX 295 card with high VRAM.

I'm forwarding to get GeForce 300 series in next year as part of video card upgrade for my PC.

I had done with research about graphic card.
 
for CPU - since you have 2 monitors.... I would recommend Intel Quad Core and 8gb RAM minimum.

240 watt, no - volt which is the electricitiy outlet down here.. :) But all eletronics are becoming universally available which is fantastic.

it is my first time to build my own rig, but I have seen inside one hundred times, I have replaced my friend's sound card, in his computer. Should be be an interesting journey, when I build one in 2010.

Not porn, you idiot!

most likely the same way I use computer for - development, movies, internet.

Yep, that's my plan. Just need to find a motherboard that can handle more than the minimum ram

The Highlander said:
Then Jake needs server with Intel Xeon and RAID 5.

lol not that serious

We'll see about that


All I want the custom computer to work very well with my monitors, and a lot of ram, and 1TB worth of HDD memory - running on Wndows ulitmate/professional and a small server that I can run on from my computer. I understand the computer can intergrate the server in one tower, right?
 
Get a Windows 7 Prof 64bit; it can up to 192GB of RAM and Intel Xeon can up to 64GB of RAM. True server use RAID 5. When you have two hard drives failed and you don't lost any datas at all. Yes, RAID 5 is better than RAID 2.

A lot of peeople who run their own web-servers at home don't usually use more than 8GB at home....

That's right and they are upgrade ready for future. Intel Xeon is good for ten years or more without spend money for whole new hardwares if need.
 
If, I live in Australia then I will not buy anything from outside of Australia. Cost me for extra shipping and any defects parts then cost me for other shipping. They may not cover warranty from other countries. They will not rebate $$ from outside of Australia.

Best way to shopping in your country. They will have full warranty.

I rememeber..... little bit over 10 years ago, one person lives in South Africa. They want me to order EPSON printer. Package send my home address then forward to him at South Africa. So, I called Epson Co, UPS and Post Office. They said that no warranty for outside of USA or North America.
