Fresh account noob here. I'm about to order up and build my first system from scratch and need some critique of my part list so far, specifically pertaining to their compatibility with each other. I'm almost positive I'm forgetting something important that I will need, so please clue me in as needed.
I've done alot of searching/comparing on these forums and elsewhere, and it seems everyone has their own opinion about every product. What I'm most concerned about is that they will work well together. I don't plan to overclock until I learn more about how it's done. Like I said, I'm a complete noob to this.
Chaintech Nforce4 VNF4/Ultra mobo
AMD Athlon 64 3200+ Winchester 90nm
Corsair XMS Extreme 1GB (512x2) 2-2-2-5
BFG Geforce 6800+ GT OC PCI-e 256 MB, dual DVI
Audigy 2 ZS PCI (non Plat/LE)
Seagate Barracuda 160 GB 7200 SATA
NEC ND-3520A dual layer DVD+-RW
OCZ Modstream 450W PSU
Antec P160 aluminum case
Windows XP Pro
Do I need any extra fans, or additional cooling for the vid card?
Thanks in advance.
