New HTPC build. Final tough

[boulard83]

Its for an HTPC but im gona run few racing games on my 46" 1080P.

E5200 ( gona OC to 3.0 ++ )
P5Q ( same as my other one )
4gb (2x2gb) G-skill CL5 ddr2 800
Gigabyte OCed 9800GT with HDMI ( 700mhz core )
WD640 32mb cache
LG DVD-RW

Total cost ( canadian dollar ) : 500$ shipped

500W not too cheap PSU that im buying from a friend for 20$ (was about 100$ new). Cant tell the brand but its not an hell-Cheapo.

Ill use my Q9550 stock HSF as cooling for the E5200. I think its gonna be ok for 3.0-3.4 OC or Higher...

Any advise ? i think its a really fonctionnal build for an HTPC + light gaming.

PS : Im ordering this week.

Looks pretty good. Make sure your case has adequate airflow though.

Yes seems fine to me.

i would suggest a new psu.

The PSU is only 1yrs old. This build is not about being a beast .... My sig is the beast.

Nice build, worried only on the PSU though.

This PSU was originally on a friend Q6600, Maximus, 8800GTS 320 build.

He bough my "old" TT toughpower 600 when he swapped the GTS for a GTX260. If his PSU handled this. It can handle my gentle build .

And just for the info. This entire HTPC is going to be an OIL submersion computer. I already have everything needed. I think its going to looks great next to my Samsung 46".
