The following I?ve pretty much decided on, however I am open to any and all suggestions!
The computer will be used primarily for gaming, Doom3, Farcry, BFV, CS:S, Half life 2, etc.
Coolermaster ATC-110
AMD 3500+ (Winchester)
Zalman CNPS7000B-AlCu
MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum
EVGA or BFG 6800GT
WD 74GB Raptor (System)
WD 160GB (Storage)
Creative Audigy 2 ZS
Sony 16x DVD-ROM Drive
1GB (2x512) RAM
What I?m not sure about is the RAM, PSU, or DVD burner
For the RAM, I need some help deciding between these:
Corsair XMS Extreme Memory Speed Series, Low Latency (Twin Pack) 184 Pin 1GB(512MBx2) DDR PC-3200 - TWINX1024-3200LLPT
Crucial Ballistix 184-Pin 512MB DDR PC-3200- BL6464Z402
OCZ EL Platinum Revision 2 Dual Channel Kit 184-Pin 1GB(512MBx2) DDR PC-3200
As for the PSU, I?m leaning towards the Antec 480W, TRU480. Right now, I really don?t have any idea what a good PSU is. Help!
And the DVD burners I?m considering:
Sony DRU710A 16x Dual layer
Pioneer DVR-A08XL Dual Layer
Overclocking the system, is it something I should consider/attempt? What are your opinions? Also, what do you think about waiting for nForce 4?
Again nothing is set in stone; I want every suggestion and comment!
Thanks in advance!
