New computer build

[MoBsTa]

Yet another computer build thread.

I put together this build after a couple months of forum lurking. Heres what I came up with:

Case: http:Thermaltake Tsunami

Graphic card: Leadtek 6800GT PCI-express

Hard Drive: 120GB samsung

Processor: AMD Athlon 64 3200+ Venice


Thermalright XP-90 HS w/ Arctic silver 5

Mobo:
DFI LANPARTY UT nf4 Ultra-D

RAM: pqi TURBO 2GB

I need someone to recommend a good PSU, would like above 500w but I don't know which brand. I also need to be recommended a CD-drive, I just want one that will read CD's and burn CD's as well, I don't want one that will read DvD's because I won't use that. I also need a good fan for the XP-90.

I also have a couple of Noob questions:

1. My internet is connected to my current computer via an ethernet cable, once I get my new build can I just connect the ethernet cable to the new mobo and I would have internet? Or is there something else I need to do.

2. This is my first build, and I wanted to know if everything i s compatible with each other.

3. Will I be able to OC my processor pretty high (2.6-2.7) with that setup?

4. Because this board has onboard sound, will I be able to just plug my speakers into them and they'll work?

Thanks in advance.

I am going to buy half of the sytem when July 4th comes near because of the deals newegg is gunna have

And a side note: I don't want to spend more than $1400 on this

1. Yes, you will be able to use the ethernet ports on the mobo. You might have to install drivers for them which should come on a cd with the mobo.

2. Everything looks fine, although I would replace that RAM with something like Corsair Value RAM. The general consensus seems to be that unless you have a reason for it, 2Gb seems excessive.

3. That motherboard is a very popular board for overclocking, so yes, you should be able to OC rather nicely.

4. Yes, once again after installing the drivers.

As for a PSU, something like this would be fine, probably even more jiggawatts than you'll need. Any CD Burner will probably be fine for your needs, just browse NewEgg until you find one that looks like it will work for you. At least, that's all to the best of my knowledge.
