Consider the Hercules Game Theater XP over the SB Live!

Not sure about the mobo. Get MSI or ASUS. Go to Crucial for your RAM. Get a retail CPU if you can.

everythings ordered. not even considering the herc. i stick with tried and true cards

Looks good!!! Very close to system I am building for someone...Are you comfortable with the 300watt PS? I went with a 350watt sparkle...

I generally use 300 watt for 900-1200mhz tbirds...350watt for 1300-1400mhz...But I may be playing the safe side since I know the gentlemen is likely to slap another harddrive and zip drive (for work) in there later...

Also the 5 case fans are overkill!!! I have 3 for my 1.2 and its damn near overkill...38cidle 45c highest temp I have seen and my HSF is above average at best...system temps are 1c above ambient room temp...once you obtain this the rest is just noise...

Sorry if we clashed the wrong way in another thread last week...I am interesting in building a P4 rig for a guy and would like your opinion on the best mobo...ocing not important...and amount of sufficient ram to do video editing and such?

You mean you stick with what Creative tells you to.
The Emu10k1 is an OLD chip...there are much more capable cards out there.

And what do you mean by tried and true? You mean tried and had a million and one problems with the exact chipset I have on the motherboard I just ordered.


Question: Why did you post this thread if you already ordered it? Just bragging? If you don't want opinions and suggestions for the system why post about it?
