Buying a new computer

[NetDevil]

I want to buy a :
AMD Athlon? 64 3000+ 512K (1800 MHz) BOX
Msi K8N Neo4, nForce4, Socket 939, ATX, PCI-Ex16 / 4xPCI /2 x PCI-Ex-1, Dual DDR400, U-DMA 133, S-ATA Raid, SB 8ch.&2xLan1000 on board.
2xDIMM 512Mb DDRAM PC-3200 (400MHz - 2x200MHz) Corsair C2PT
SEAGATE 80 GB 7200rpm 8Mb Serial-ATA 150 8.5ms ST380013AS Baracuda 7200.7 with NCQ
ALPS 3,5" 1,44 Mb BLACK
Nec 3500 DVD-Wr
WinFast PX6600 GT TDHE GF 6600 GT 128Mb DDR3 PCI Express (128bit) TV-OUT DVI Dual Display
Antec SLK 2650 BQE
I wonder if the smart power 350w psu included in the case would be enough for the system. What do you think ?
Thanks.

Later Edit : I could choose a KME PH-400 PFC Activ Dual Fan - Temp. Auto Control too.

Looks like a pretty solid system to me.

If you're not planning on overclocking I think the antec ps should do an adequate job.

im planning on buying that cpu also, im getting a soltek board (K8T800 Pro chipset), that board has 3 ide connectors (total of 6 drives) and 4 sata connectors, gigabit ethernet, integrated firewire and 7.1CH AC97 audio

The 350w antec PSU included with the case should be plenty fine for that system. If you plan on doing any overclocking though, I'd get a little bigger one. I had a 350w enermax running a 2.8 prescott at 3.5ghz, with a gig of ram, a 6800GT and dual raptors, so that Antec should certainly be good enough.

I`m not planing on doing overclocking.At least not this year . And i have 2 more questions:
1.What to choose from Corsair XMS C2PT 400mhz, KingMax Hardcore 500mhz, Ocz Premier Series ?
2.I`ve now seen Abit AX8 with k8t890 chipset at a store priced under the MSI board. is it any good cause i haven`t found any review of it on the net.

 

[stevty2889]

I have the Kingmax hardcore, and while it's ok, it has pretty lousy timings at DDR500, that none of my motherboards can even use, 3-5-5-10 are the SPD timings at DDR500, but the highest any of my 4 motherboards I used it on would go was 3-4-4-8, so I was never able to get the memory stable at 500mhz. I am now using PQI turbo that runs fine at 3-4-4-8 at ddr500.

 

[stevty2889]

ACK, double post.

 

[nick1985]

your PSU will be just fine

 

[NetDevil]

even if it`s a smart series ? i`ve seen that all recomandation for athlon64 go on true power. will i be able to take the computer to full load(not overclocking just full load) without any problems ?

 

[cryogenic666]

Yeah... even the smart series is fine. The only difference in the smart series is that the 3.3v & 5v share a rail instead of each having their own like on the truepower. Basically that just means that you can't get full power out of both 3.3 & 5v at the same time. I don't see that being a HUGE issue in any case. Also, I'd go with the 120GB version of that Seagate drive as it's only $20 more for 40GB more. Outside of that, nice system going there. I can't say I'd change anything else you've picked out.
