my new gaming comp is finished

[Rogue Sniper]

i finally finished building my new comp and though i bought the wrong PSU, i decided heck with it and use my 600w from my old comp.

Specs
Asus P5N-D Intel mobo, Nvidia chipset
Intel Core 2 Duo e8400 @ 3.0ghz
4gb Corsair ram @ 800mhz
XFX 9600 GT 512mb XXX edition
my old 500gb sata 300
my old PSU enermax 600w
my old dvd/cd drive from Asus
eventually put in my AVer Media Capture card

I just loaded Company of Heroes and played it on low'ish medium (i set it this way cause i didnt break it in yet) works flawlessly, cant wait to break it in to play some source games

btw is 111F/44C too hot for the CPU and what about 109F/43C for the mobo? (on idling while formatting a hdd partition)
i can add one or 2 more fans, though i have 3 case fans in it now

Its not bad.. the graphic card is good..

ive lowered my temps to ~45C and 38C on idle by adding 2 more case fans

meh the graphics cards ok i would have bought a ATI radeon 3870 if you were going to buy a 9600 the 3870 is WAYYYYYY better and its about the same price you could have play company of heros on high with the 3870

Those temps are fine. Your E8400 is good to ~72*c

I'm not a fan of the Nvidia's 9Series...just an overclocked version of the 8Series. Oh well, if it works for you...props.

Not bad

~Gooda~

well compared to my partially fried 7900gt its a lot better so I like it, right now on high'ish settings, 2x msaa, 0 as, full hdr and motion blur on tf2 it gets ~90 + at 1920x1200 on warpath

cant wait to put it into full gear when its done breaking in
