Building a new PC

[Williamea]

Was going to go with:

Asus a8n
Evga 7800gt
Amd 3200


Looking for suggestions on a Heatsink/Fan and a Power Supply. Any other Mobo or Vid Card suggestions.

what kind of budget are you looking at? are you willing to overclock? what case is this going in? what will you be doing with this puter?

without any of these questions answered, I'd probably say:
--Scythe Ninja with a yate loon for your heatsink/fan combo

--motherboard looks fine depending on your uses. if you're looking for good overclockability then check out the DFI expert motherboards.

--FSP 450W Dual 12v for your PSU

--Case is entirely based on preference....barring that I'll give you my choice: Antec P180

--For the video card, since this is entirely based on budget, I assume you selected the 7800gt because of it's recent drop in price. If you're willing to wait an extra pay-day or pan-handle for a few days I'd grab the 7900gt because of its obscene performance and good price.

--The proc is a decent budget choice as long as you get the right core. If it were my choice though, I'd pick up an Opteron 144 or 146 and oc the HELL out of it; you'll be able to get it to 2.4 (conservatively speaking), maybe 2.6+, and thats a huge amount of money you'd save instead of going for a more expensive proc at those same clocks.

--For memory, if you aren't overclocking, or are willing to run at a divider, definetly buy the G.Skill 2x1 gig kit at P3200. That stuff is extremely inexpensive, but very good quality. If you are overclocking though, grab some of this stuff @ PC4000. Also a great deal for the speed.
