I’m hoping someone can tell me if I’ve made any mistakes with the parts I’ve selected for a new system I’m building. Here are the specs:
Processor: E6400
Motherboard: MSI 975X Platinum
RAM: Corsair TWIN2X1024A-6400 (1 gig, 1.9v, 5-5-5-15)
Video Card: XFX PVT73GUGD3 7600GT PCI-E
Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 SATA 3.0
Power Supply: Apex SL-8600EPS 600W
DVD Burner: Samsung SH-S182D 18X
DVD ROM: Sony DDU1615/B2s
Case: Apevia (Aspire) X-plorer ATXB8KLW-BK
I’ve already ordered everything since I researched almost every part but now I’m finding a lot of info saying that the MSI 975X isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. I read the review on Tomshardware where they gave it the Editors Choice Award, which made up my mind to order it, but now I’m having my doubts. Does anyone foresee any issues I may have using this motherboard? Will I be happier with something else? (Remembering that I’d have to pay shipping to send it back. Plus I hate to wait.)
I’d appreciate any thoughts.
