Is this a Good Setup?

I already have:
2 ATA133 harddrives
Radeon 9800pro

Any comment or suggestions on the selected parts? I WILL be
overclocking but am trying to not have to have a loud computer.
 
I would say its decent.... what are you using it for...


Whats the GPU....
 
looks awesome for overclocking, but i'd be slightly hesitant about that psu. i had one, and i got a new one for christmas cause there isn't enough amperage on the 12v rail. i got a ocz powerstream 420 to replace it.
 
I would get a Razer Diamondback mouse rather then that MX1000, unless you really want it for some reason. I find any wireless mice to be too heavy. You may be fine with the MX1000 but it is just something to think about before making your purchase.

As for PSU I would get a higher watt Forton for just a little bit more $$. Especially if overclocking.

Can anyone comment on that HSF? I would recommend the Thermalright XP-90 but then again I do not know exactly how well that Zalman performs.
 
yeah, it should be fine with that video card.. the 6800gt definitly sucks up way more power.
and i'm aware it has 20a on the 12v line.. and 28a on 3.3 and 36 on 5v. i have the true430 in my secondary system right now, with the ocz going into my primary :D
i was just letting you know that i have personal experience with the true430, and it's a decent psu. i never had any stability problems with it, but it was just not fully up to overclocking a 6800gt that was modded into an ultra ;)
 
Is that a general recommendation for wireless mice or this model in particular? I have heard of the communication delay that occurs when you lift the mouse and place it again, but that is not my FPS style.
