    TheDudeTD got a reaction from Ykcud in Building a Windows XP gaming PC   
    Yeah, I'm thinking about building one for retro gaming as well as some later titles that aren't even supported on W7 anymore.
     
    I know DDR2 memory would probably work just as fine, but like I said, I would like it to be a bit overkill 😄 So you also suggest I should go with a dual channel configuration?
     
    A Core2Duo CPU should be fine, but I would like to get a dedicated GPU for "newer" games up until maybe 2006/2008 era.
     
    As for the PSU, I'm aware I don't need a lot of power. 400W or even lower should be plenty. I just don't want to put an old used one that comes with the case or something for obvious reasons.
     
    Will still go with an SSD considering FakeKGB's comment. Like you said, 500 GB should be more than enough.
     
    For the case, I will use basically anything I can get my hands on for as cheap as possible. Doesn't really matter 😄
     
    Thanks for the great info and helping me out. Will definitely snoop around a bit more and see what I can come up with 🙂
