I Want Your Opinions: Upgrading to an AMD Athlon 800

[mundania]

Case: Enlight 7237 w/300 watt ($51)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-7ZX ($104)
Athlon Thunderbird 800: ($112)
Fan: GlobalWin FMP008: ($9)

1 Mushkin 128 PC133 RAM
1 Kingston 128 ValueRam PC133

I just want to make sure that this system is adequately cooled and like won't bust on me. =D Also, any work on Kingston ValueRam and a sysytem like the one listed above?

Thanks!

I've never heard of that heatsink before...

If you aren't planning on doing any overclocking then that should be sufficient. I would probably look into some extra cooling methods to be sure like thermal compound and a dual fan/heatsink combo.

Asking for advice again :/

Your cooling should be fine if you don't plan to do any hardcore O/C. My Athlon 700MHz is running at 850MHz with a standard HSF, so I wouldn't worry too much there. With regards to RAM, Mushkin RAM is always good. Hope that helps.
