russell160295 Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Well it all looks good to me but i would recommend atleast a 500 watt power supply so you have room to upgrade in the future, i.e beter graphics card later will probably require a bigger power supply. As for installing leopard there are plenty of guides but if you want snow leopard i would wait for a guide for i7 motherboards.

InsanelyOne Posted August 28, 2009 Author Share Posted August 28, 2009 Thanks for the feedback. I don't play games or do anything graphics intensive so I think that card will suit me just fine. I will however investigate a bigger power supply.

TomCom Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 In that case, 400W are more than enough. It's a nice rig, but the memory seems very slow to me. I know DDR3 prices are "getting high" again, but if you have a few bucks left, buy CL7 1333MHz modules instead of these CL9. Check OCZ Platinum prices.

Dankbro Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Looks good. Are you planning on using the stock Core i7 920 cooler? I'm asking because the Antec 300 case is pretty small.
