This is the computer I'll be bringing to college, so I put a solid amount of money into it, tell me what you think.

MSI K8N NEO2 PLATINUM BUNDLE W/ RETAILED Details (AMD ATHLON 64 3200+; KINGSTON 1GB DDR400(512MB X 2); NO TESTING) $482.50

MSI NX6600GT VTD 128MB AGP 8X DDR W/VIVO/DVI Details $219.00

SEAGATE 120GB ST3120024A 8MB UATA100 7200RPM 8MB 8.5MS (Bare drive) Details (18" ATA DATA CABLE) $91.50

ANTEC TRUE430 430W UL & FCC POWER SUPPLY FOR ATX CASES Details $70.00

ANTEC PRO 80mm DOUBLE BALL BEARING FAN FOR CASE W/4PIN CONNECTOR Details $7.50


I think this should do it, but if im missing anything let me know. I plan on using on-board sound. Also, do I need anything else for cooling? I have another Antec 80mm fan that I plan on using with it too. I want this thing to be as stable as possible, I don't plan on over clocking. Any tips?

If hes not OCing the stock cooler should be fine.

ANd to the OP your setup looks fine to me

But it makes a lot less noise, which is pretty important IMHO, otherwise just go with the 7000Cu cooler on the msi board.
