This is what I bought and have sitting next to me, ready to build:
Antec P180 Case
Antec TruePower II 550W PSU
ASUS A8N-SLI Premium
2 Gigs Corsair XMS DDR 400 2x1024
Now all I need is a CPU, HD, and Vid card.
Im 90% sure Im going to get the GTX 7800. So knowing that, whats a good CPU to get? Im quickly running out of funds, so the X2 4000+ is about as much as I can afford with the 7800.
What kind of HD should I get? SATA II? Does the Asus A8N-SLI Pre. support SATA II? Im not big into RAID, so Id like to stick with one huge HD.
Is getting the X2 over the single core 4000+ (San Diego) going to make a big hit in games? I do multi-task a lot, so the X2 is attractive, but not if its going to make a huge difference in games.
Also, last question. What kind of cooling accessorices should I buy? There's optional fan slots uin the P180 I want to use. What kind of CPu cooling unit should I get also? Anything else Im missing?
I really appreciate your replies, thanks again.
