So, I' am planning on building a computer. This would be my 1st one. I've got a good idea of how to actually install the hardware and do it in a safe manner.
My worry is my actual build.
I'll give new egg links so you guys can look at the specs.
Motherboard : Newegg.com - ASUS M4A79 Deluxe AM2+/AM2 AMD 790FX ATX AMD Motherboard - AMD Motherboards
CPU : Newegg.com - AMD Phenom II X4 940 Deneb 3.0GHz 4 x 512KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache Socket AM2+ 125W Quad-Core Black Edition Processor - Processors - Desktops
RAM : Newegg.com - mushkin 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Desktop Memory
PSU : Newegg.com - APEVIA ATX-AS680W-BL 680W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready Power Supply - Power Supplies
Sound Card : Newegg.com - Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Professional 70SB088600002 7.1 Channels 24-bit 96KHz PCI Express Interface Sound Card - Sound Cards
Video Card : Newegg.com - SAPPHIRE 100259-1GL Radeon HD 4870 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards
Hard Drive : Newegg.com - Seagate ST3640323AS 640GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drive - Internal Hard Drives
Case : Newegg.com - COOLER MASTER HAF 932 RC-932-KKN1-GP Black Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case - Computer Cases
So, that's what i had in mind. If someone finds incompatablities/better on this spec please let me know.
Also, i'd be very very happy if someone could explain how to tweak RAM settings/fan speeds. I was reading on the PCI Express 2.0 slots on that mother board. I wonder if it would be possible to fit dual graphics cards and that sound card because the x16 bandwidth would get split.
