woot woot :D , i finally get a new computer after 4 years, so here be my suggested build

dfi nf4 ultra d
2x twinmos sp 512mb
ocz 520w psu
amd 3700+ san diego
sapphire x800xl 256mb video card
sound card, hard drive, dvd drive will all come from old computer

i will be overclocking not much but some as i am a noob :p. just some questions i got are, is this going to be a pretty stable build? any suggestions? im thinking about get an lcd monitor if budget allows, was thinking about the HYUNDAI L90D+, but i have heard its not great for watching movies and overall general use but is great for games, so im split between that one and a 19" dell lcd

any help and/or suggestions greatly appreciated
 
cooling? that's got some oc'ing potential..better not run it stock ;)

 
for cooling is was going to get the copper xp 90 (yes for the copper look i will pay extra :p ), possibly water a little later on when i save up the money, thanks for the replys
 
looks good, although i am not sure i have ever herd of twinmos(which cud be due soley to my ignorence)
 
from what i have heard twinmos sp overclocks like mad if you give it more voltage, anyone else got comments or suggestions? maybe different ram?
 
No, stay with TwinMOS SP. Obviously you're not going to go with SLI in the near future, I would recommend a different/better/cheaper PSU. Much like FSP Blue Storm 500W. Enough for your video card.

If they are really that old (4 years old), I would advise against that.

hard drive is a 160gb that i got about 2months ago so its good, dvd drive is meh, and sound is a creative sb live so they are all decent items, what about a seasonic power supply? i have heard they are pretty silent and reliable, but i liked the ocz one cause it had a 5year warrenty, dont know what seasonic has?
 
Seasonic probably have 3 years warranty but it wouldn't hurt to look at their websites. But they're good. :)

If you don't plan on Ocing much and you are a noob, I would not recommend getting the Ultra-D..try Asus, MSI, or ABit
