Hello to everyone! (Please excuse me, I'm on Perkiset) Recently my old computer went kaput and I decided to put together a new one, working with about a 1400 dollar budget. I had a friend help me put a parts list together on newegg.com, but I made some adjustments myself. Mainly I'm just curious if the parts will all work together okay (my first computer had part compatibilty issues I think), and whether there are some other choices I should be considering, etc. If anyone has any opinions on this (I'm hoping not to get my bubble too bursted here, as my wallet is not very flexible...), It'd be greatly appreciated
Here's what I've got (minus parts I'm re-using):
Case: Antec Performance I P-160WF Silver 1.2mm Anodized Aluminum ATX Mid Tower
Motherboard: ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI ATX AMD Motherboard
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 3700+ San Diego 1GHz FSB Socket 939
Video Card: eVGA 256-P2-N376-AX Geforce 6800GT 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16
Hard Drive: Western Digital Raptor WD740GD 74GB 10,000 RPM Serial ATA150
Burner: LITE-ON Black IDE DVD Burner Model SOHW-1693S Black
Fans, Heatsinks: Panasonic Panaflo FBA12G12M 120mm Hydro Wave Case Cooling Fan,
Thermaltake CL-P0114 120mm Cooling Fan/Heatsink
Memory - CORSAIR XMS 1GB (2 x 512MB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) Unbuffered Dual Channel Kit System Memory Model
Power Supply: Antec TruePower 2.0 TP2-550 EPS12V ATX12V 550W
Originally I was going to go with an Athlon X2, but the price was just a little high and I thought I could get by with this just fine (I'm not a huge computer buff - really, what is the difference?). I was also considering using this instead of the separate fan and heatsink listed above.
Thanks alot!
