    multitasking pc

    i will be using this pc to multitask, therefore i think i need a dual core processor. maybe opteron 165? the video card could be somewhere around 6600GT? for harddisk, i don't think i need more than 160GB. what about ram? and case and powersupply and all the good stuff? thanks for reading.

    any possible way of cutting the cost down?

    should i switch the g.skill ddr 500 with ocz platinum (which has lower timings) or do the timings really don't matter with x2?

    any possible way of cutting the cost down?

    i was just going to mention epox 9NPA ultra. that will save me some too without taking a performance hit, right?

    any possible way of cutting the cost down?

    that xfx 7800GT looks like a great deal. i will definitely switch to that. but dfi ultra-d does not like all the power supplies. is antec neopower 480 compatible with the dfi ultra-d?

    seasonic cables reach in p180?

    as the topic title says, do the seasonic s12 500 cables reach everything in a p180 case or does it come short? if it comes short, should i switch to ocz powerstream 520?

    i was wondering the same thing. maybe i should not take chances and go with another case. does anyone know anything on this issue? maybe i should just go ahead with ocz powerstream 520?

    any thoughts on G.SKILL?

    thanks for the input. although it is ddr500, it would still be compatible with the dfi lanparty ultra-d right?

    any thoughts on G.SKILL?

    i will be using 3800 x2 as my cpu and dfi lanparty ultra-d. is G.SKILL 2 x 1gb DDR500 good memory? should i go with it? or look into other memories? here is the link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820231021
