My New Gaming Rig

[nealh]

you do not need a loud fan with the XP 90/120 HSF...for good cooling...get something quieter...I have a A64 3200 with XP90 with a Vantec Stealth 92mm fan very quiet temps are fine with oc at 2550 and 1.58v
I live in FL idle temp 38C and load 51C(only using 2 80mm Panaflo L1a case fans..intake and exhaust)

Also the XP120 is huge....so make sure it fits...

I would recommend the OCZ Powerstream series....betterwarranty and more connecotrs from PSU

I have the Powerstream 520W...very nice

Hmm...what should I do here.

I ordered everything except the monitor and the video card. I waited on the videocard because I wanted to get the XFX 6600GT PCI-E, but it is not instock. It says on newegg 3/7/05 ETA...but it is not in. I want to get this stuff by friday so that I can put it together this weekend.

Should I wait on the XFX or go with the Chaintech or MSI? The Chaintech has got really good reviews off of newegg, 5 star out of 50+ reviews.

XFX seems to have alot of problems with the 6600 GT. I have their 6800 GT and its great, but I would go with another brand for the 6600.
For the monitor, that G90Fb is a great monitor. I thought about getting a used one from Azatech, but decided I'd feel better with a brand new one.
So, which PSU did you buy?

 

That's not a bad setup. I'd rather go with a Zalman 7700Cu though.

I agree, but he already bought it. Actually I would just go with the stock HSF unless I was going for maxium OC.
