there not junk, even some of the cheapest psu can be as good as some of the most expensive ones. People just like to spend more money on something they dont need or want the name.
ive used raidmax in my systems, ive built alot of systems, ive never had one die on me, ive had more antec psu die on me than any other brand, i dont like antec overglorified junk.
Antec 900 case is a wet dream for modding, but other than that. . . I haven't used their other stuff for anything.Originally Posted by Winsok
Raidmax is fine.

Don't give these people your money. Take a glance at their own support forums if you want a glimpse of your future should you choose to buy their products.

Dell outlet if you're buying, hands down. You can get a nice laptop for 500 or so and also nice dektops that run Rift on high at 30 in a rift though check with us to make sure you dont buy crap. They have that too.
If you're building I'll send you one.
The cheapest SB i3 will work better than any AMD combo on a small budget, so I'd go with that.
There are some good cheap psu-case combos i build like 20 machines a year with, but i have to look up the model number.
I would go with a cheap GTS 450, 550ti or GTX 460 for Rift, but the 460 will cost you more in power supply negating its cheapness.
4GB of the dirt cheapest 1333 DDR3 will be fine
Get a 500 GB Samsung spinpoint 7200rpm. They are quick little bigger with a single platter and cost almost nothing.
DVD drives are whatever. Don't pay more than 25 bucks.
Get a 5 dollar keyboard and mouse at Wally world for now. Nice ones will still be there later so dont waste your budget.
BUY windows. Haxxored versions are too much of a pain in the ***** and you will regret it.
If you dont have a monitor, just buy a laptop. You will be happier anyways since you already prefer them.
sorry wasnt specific, antec powersupplys are junk.
Sorry I haven't replied to you guys recently, I've done some tweeking to the setup, let me know what you guys think.
