Will the following computer components all fit in my Antec Three Hundred case?
by ekorreN on July 16, 2009Q: I am buying the following components and I am wondering if everything is going to fit and work on my new computer. I am also wondering if the corsair 650W power supply enough?
Antec Three Hundred case
ASUS P5QL PRO, P43, Socket-755
Corsair powersupply 650W black ATX/EPS
Corsair Dominator TWIN2X PC8500 4 GB DDR2 with Fan (Is fan needed)-the one without is cheaper.
Samsung Spinpoint T166 250GB SATA2
HIS Radeon HD 4890 1 GB GDDR5
Intel Core 2 Quad 8400 2,66ghz.
Did i forget anything?
Apparently there are some issues with certain RAM not running at 1066mHz with this board. The qualified Vendors List (QVL) for the motherboard is here: http://www.asus.com/999/download/products/2307/2307_10.pdf
I don’t see the RAM you mentioned on the list, so I’d suggest to purchase one of the 1066mhz sets listed there.
Don’t bother with a fan on the RAM that you buy.
If this is a new build from scratch you’ll want to pick up a DVD drive too.
If you don’t already own that Samsung drive, I’d suggest going for some more space. 1TB hard drives are around $80.

That PSU should be plenty. Here is a great PSU calculator so you can estimate your needs in the future: http://extreme.outervision.com/index.jsp

The Harddrive space is enough for me i have many 160GB harddrive’s home that i can insert and i’ve found this one Sony NEC Optiarc DVD±RW burner AD-5200A , And i think the Corsair RAM will run with the motherboard. If u dont think it then try it out and tell me . thx.
+ Is the PSU giving enough power ?
