What is your price range you are looking to spend on your new computer build? The AM2+ is the next version of the AM2.. It supports the Phenom chips.. The AM2+ board would only be good, if you are wanting to upgrade in the future.. To be honest tho, I hate to say it, but the CPU you have...

780v no blue ray.. hmm. Then I'll look into the 780g model then... Thanks, I didn't know that.. I was assuming the 780v was a newer version of the 780g, and would figure it to have all the old features, plus possibly more.. Plus it was dirt cheap.. I'm sure glad I ordered the case when I did...

thanks for the suggestions there batuchke, but I'm kinda fond of the case I got picked out already... I'm not wanting to have a pc looking device sitting next to the tele in the living room.. I'll also keep my eye out on that 380EW power supply for a sale... I've ordered my case.. the rest is...

thanks foir the input.. I looked into the Antec EW 380... it is $10 more than the one I got picked, but it seems to be the best bet in the long term use in power bills.. I also noticed a nice Antec 350watt for $19.99.. It isn't a power saver like the Earth Watt edition, but for $20, it appears...

hmm. I don't see that option on New Egg.. I hit the share button when I made the list.. It says it is shared, but it doesn't show on the public list.. Maybe there is a waiting period.. ???

I'm thinking of building a new htpc.. Myself I use either my PC, or I use my Xbox with XBMC as the gui... I'm wondering what opinions you may have over my current build project.. I've not purchased anything yet, and I'm basically looking for something to replace my Xbox as a media player, with...

I believe there is a stutter problem with drivers for the 3800 series.. I'd say get the 4850..

I forgot about the side... -lol- yep that should be an intake.

I'd agree you may need to clean and re-thermal your cpu/hsf.... another thing to look for is possible something not seated correctly. As in, when you put the card into the pc, you possible caused another device tobe come unseated.... Is there alot of dust gathered on your hsf?? Are your fans...

just for laughs... Is your drive formated as a basic or dynamic?? I have a sata drive I use in an external hub and I formatted it as dynamic.. stupid me.. anyhow.. each time I use this drive, to pull something off it, etc.. I have to go into my 'computer management', then goto 'storage', then I...

30FPS is what I judge all my games.. As an avid console gamer, this is the FPS that 99% of most console games are running at.. So for me anything about 30fps is a bonus.. I would prefer all at 60fps, but 30+ is pure gaming goodness...

A minimum 500W or greater system power supply (with 12V current rating of 26A) Above was quoted from the spec page for the 9800gtx... I would also assum that your problem is the power supply you have. I would think you shoud go with a cosair 600 to 650..

sounds like when the card starts to use some juice, it gets to a stopping point and shuts down... What's your power??? I'm assuming this only reboots while gaming... Everything else works as should.. Am I correct in thinking this? Also, check that all other components are seated correctly...
