Hello all and Thanks in advance for your help.
I'm looking to build a new computer for gaming and internet. I have a couple of questions. I'll start with items I'll probably buy and then ask for imput on the others. It's been awhile since I built a computer so bare with me.
ASUS A8V Deluxe
AMD Athlon 64 3500+
1G Cosair XMS PC-3200
nVIDIA 6800 GT 256 GDDR3
Creative Labs Audigy2 ZS Platinum
Plextor 12X DVD+/-RW Drive
MX 700 mouse
Now my questions. I want a new case and power supply. What is recomended power supply for a system like this or rather for this motherboard, Chip and Video? Do any cases come with enough power out of the box?
I'm looking at either a Western Digital Raptor 74GB 10,000RPM SATA Hard Drive or Western Digital 200GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive. What do you guys think? Do I need 2 for system to work? Also do I need a special power supply for the harddrives?
Am I missing anything?
Thank you for you replies.
