hey all, was just giving 2000 to build a new computer, wanted to run what i had in mind by ya to get some ideas on posable changes ect...


PLEXTOR Beige SATA DVD Burner
Lian Li PC-V1200 case
3 wd 250 gig sata 2 16 mb cache
MSI K8N Neo4/SLI Socket 939 mother board
XFX PVT70FUNDE Geforce 7800GTX 256MB video card
COOLER MASTER Real Power RS-550 550 watt ps
2x1 gig ocz Unbuffered Dual Channel Platinum cas 2 ram
amd 3700+ san deigo 939 cpu

my questions are is there anything i should change am i making a bad choice in any of these items ?
my goal is to have really nice gaming at 1280x1024 with high detail @ 60fps min, later i plan to get a second 7800 gtx to run sli.

i want to be able to play games like doom3 hl2 eq2 wow at highest detail, can i that with a slower prosecer so i can get a 4th 250 gig hd ( I am a media freak, i got 550 gigs full now)

i was thinking the 3700+ san diego chip or a 3200+ venice my goal later is in about 1/2 - 1 1/2 years get a x2 or a fx series, so i do not need the chip to last the next gen games, i just want to make sure i am going to get at least 60 fps in all current games

I also use maya and photo shop, and do video editing,

my current computer is a p4 2.53 gig 533 fsb, 9500pro vid card, 1 gig corsair cas 2.5 266 / 300 at cas 3 ram, and a mismatch of pata hd's, wil the new amd chips do video editing and 3d work just a little better, or way !!! better then this computer


Thanks any help is realllly appricated

ps I do plan on minor oc'ing, might get a aquagate mini 120 or some other hsf combo up to 100$ in price so keep that in mind when helping me, btw i do mean minor, I want it to be ROCK solid at whatever i oc it to, I also leave my computer on 24/7 hence the rock solid, i need to have my computer be stable enugh to be encoding a vid while i am at work and when i get home go stright in to a game or maya and not have to reboot to get the system running right ect... ( if with this in mind oc is not for me fine, but recomend a good mb / ram ect... with oc'ing not in mind since i built this system with it in mind :p ) wow said mind wayyy to many times :p
 
well i decided to save a bit of money and get a 3000+ and overclock it, and also decided to get the SILVERSTONE ZEUS SST-ST65ZF ATX12V 650W Power Supply instead of the one listed, any other sugestions any of ya all might have for me ?? planing on useing the pc-90 hs how does that handel oc'ing
