I'm sure you get this question a lot, but tell me what you think of this build...
Motherboard: ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 3800+ Orleans 2.4GHz 512KB L2 Cache Socket AM2 Processor
Graphics: PNY VCG68128XWB GeForce 6800 128MB 128-bit DDR PCI Express x16
RAM: G.SKILL 2GB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)
Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 (Perpendicular Recording) ST3500630AS 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s
DVD/CD: SONY Black 16X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 8X DVD+R DL 16X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 5X DVD-RAM 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-R 24X CD-RW 40X CD-ROM IDE DVD Burner
Case: 11-Bay ATX Transparent Plastic Computer Case w/3 LED Fans
PSU: 500-Watt ATX Quiet Power Supply w/SATA Connectors (Blue) Powmax PSAS-BL PSAS-BL
This will be the first I've built, so I could be way off on what I need/want (and I may even be missing stuff (though I think I've got everything in line)).
I'll most likely be running Ubuntu (maybe dual booting Windows for some light-medium gaming). The system will be primarily used for general office, web stuff, with some video encoding (I still need to pick a capture card), and a little gaming - and I want it to be as upgradeable and long lasting as possible.
Too much system? Too little? Any bad selections?
Thanks!
