My New Computer Build (Comments and Suggestions Welcome)

[mikeohara]

I've gotten around to pricing up my next system which I will build in the next month or so. I put my budget at around $1500 for the computer itself (I have a seperate budget for the monitor)

Case: CHENMING CMUI-601AEB-W - $61.50

Motherboard:
Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe - $166

Power Supply:
Antec TruePower 2.0 TP2-550 - $109.99

Memory:
CORSAIR XMS 1GB (2 x 512MB) PC3200 Memory - $121.50

CD/DVD Drive:
NEC 3520A Dual Layer DVD Recorder - $45.99

Hard Disk:
Maxtor Diamondmax 10 200gb SATA - $97.50 (Thanks to Douglite)

Processor:
AMD Athlon 64 3200+ Retail - $193

Video Card:
eVGA 256-P2-N538-AX (GeForce 7800GTX) w/Battlefield 2 - $599

This computer will be my everyday machine (Games, Music, etc etc) and I plan on o/c'ing the processor. As in the thread title, I will take all reasonable suggestions in stride as all positive comments. Negative comments will get you ignored most likely.

I like it. I would choose another case, but that is a matter of preference. Other than that your set-up looks good to me. Let me know how it turns out.

This HDD is faster and cheaper.

Thx Doug, I looked at it ... it's quite cheaper plus with the 16mb cache and 2nd gen SATA, you can't go wrong. it goes on the list.
