Ok, here are the components I was looking at in assembling my new comp.
Soyo SY-KT400 Dragon Ultra (Platinum Edition) Motherboard
AMD ATHLON XP 2600 /333 FSB
1024MB PC-2700 DDR333 Memory SAMSUNG
Western Digital Caviar Special Edition 80.0GB Internal Hard Drive
GAINWARD/CARDEXPERT GeForce 4 Ti 4800SE
Allied TRUE 450W Power Supply AL-B450EATX
Green Aluminum Chieftec case
Now, I'm not looking for much in the way of oc'ing (it would be nice, but I would be happy with these base specs regardless), but I wanted to ask three things. First, are there any problems with the above components that I should be aware of? Second, what power supply would you use to power this? I have the Allied listed, but I have no idea besides what I've read if it's any good or not. All positive reviews so far. Third, what would you use to cool this? I was looking at the Volcano 9, the Swiftech MCX462+, and the Vantec VA4-C7040. Are these ok for an XP2600? Also, which do you think is the best out of the three? thanks in advance for your time.
