OK, building a new gaming system, and plan on OC'ing it. Here is what I have, started assy last night.
2 C250-2138 Serial ATA Cable Kit (1 Power Adapter/1 Data Cable)
1 O261-8004 OCZ Silver Thermal Paste
1 CP1-DUO-Q6600 Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4Ghz 4x2mb 1066FSB CPU G0 Step
1 L12-1132 OEM Lite-ON 20X DVDRW SATA LH-20A1S-12 Int No SW OEM
1 TSD-250AS7 BM Seagate 250GB Serial ATA w/NCQ 7200/16MB/SATA-3G
1 L23-7310 Logitech G15 Gaming Keyboard - 2007 Version
1 A455-2364 Asus Maximus Formula SE X38 Socket 775 Motherboard
1 ULT40064 Ultra X3 1000w PSU
2 C13-2022 Corsair TWINX 2048MB PC6400 DDR2 800MHz E.P.P.
4 Thermaltake A2018 120mm Blue LED Case Fan
1 T925-2241 Thermaltake Mozart TX Cube F-Tower Case Blk w/Wind 5 fans
1 AeroCool GateWatch-SV Silver GateWatch with LCD display
1 E145-8008 EVGA GeForce 8800 GTS Superclocked 640MB PCIe
1 ZEROtherm BTF90 92mm Silent UFO CPU Cooler
1 Microsoft Windows Vista 32-Bit Home Premium for System Builders Single Pack DVD - OEM
1 Dell 2407WFP-HC Ultrasharp 24 Inch Widescreen Flat Panel LCD Monitor w/PIP
Question 1. How does it look for a gaming system? I do plan on adding water cooling in a few weeks.
Question 2. I am assuming that the video card needs no audio cable?
Question 3. There are 3 USB connections on the MB, are they all the same?
Question 4. Does the supplied sound card need a power connection? or is it powered from the sound card connection?
Question 5. Does the sound card need an audio cable to connect to the MB? Only cable I have plugged into it is the tower input/output jacks on the front. There is no other supplied cable.
I also know that 32 bit Vista does not support the full 4 MB, may change to 64 bit later on. I multitask alot so I wanted more than 2 MB mem. As you can probably tell, its been a few years since I have build a PC. Any help would be appreciated.
