Im thinking of putting together a new system and I need some help from some of the resident experts here =). Basically what I want to get is something like this:
- Athlon 64 3200+
- MSI K8N Neo Platinum
- 2 x 512 RAM DDR 400
- Audigy 2 ZS
- Gefore Ti 4600 (have it, will updrade at a later date)
I have a hardrive and other components from my other system that will go into this system so the other pieces of hardware are not a problem. My main concern was when looking into the OCZ memory, there is dual-channel and single-channel memory. I was wondering if it matters which one I get? Will they both function the same or do I have to buy a certain one?
The other thing I was wondering if ayone can point me to a good case. Im looking for one that looks stylish, has good air flow, and is affordable. If it comes with a power supply, I guess that's a bonus. For the power supply, what kind am I looking for? Will 350W do me fine or do I need something more? Keep in mind that I probably will upgrade my graphics card to a 9800/5950 or X800/6800 sometime soon (1 - 2 months).
Any help is appreciated. Let me know what you guys think or if I should go for a different cpu/motherboard, etc.
Thanks
