RAIDMAX Black 10-bay Case with 420W - $44.75 - I got this because of the PS and because I like the style
DFI "LANPARTY UT nF3 250Gb" NVIDIA nForce3 250GB Chipset Motherboard For AMD Socket 754 CPU - $99
AMD Athlon 64 3000+, 512KB L2 Cache - Newcastle core - $148
Corsair XMS Extreme Memory Speed Series, (Twin Pack) 184 Pin 1GB(512MBx2) DDR PC-3200 - $201.27
Thermaltake Venus 12 CPU Cooler For AMD Opteron and Athlon 64 - $29.99
200GB Western Digital (I think) 7200 RPM - $50 (Black Friday sale)
BFG Nvidia 6800 GT Oc - $399.99

Total = $970

Rate it out of 10. I am also wondering if I get that power supply, what happens if something goes wrong with it? Could it damage some of the components in my computer?

there are better choices to be made.

Dude, with that 6800 GT I would be running a QUALITY PS, not a PS you get with a case for $44. You will need at LEAST a quality 480 watt PS (Antec, Fortron, OCZ). I wouldn't skip on the PS.

everything's fine except for the case and psu. they are absolute crap. get the antec sonata at compusa for $70 on black friday if you can. it's a beautiful and elegant case, super quiet, and has a powerful 380W psu, which far better hten that raidmax one.

OMG Mikey first wave of parts arrived today! I'm so happy! 🙂

 

[Ninjo]

Is the Antec good for cooling? Because I plan to oc

 

[Ninjo]

Do you think a Antec true 380w would power this system alright?

 

[scottieg]

Yeaha.

An Antec 380w would be fine, but definatly don't run with that crappy generic 420w that comes with that case, I lost a $180 motherboard by using a generic 400w PSU.
