NEWBIE...building a computer....help! (links fixed)
well the dell has been running good for over 4 years now......so i was thinkin its about time to get a new pc.....im trying to build something that will last me another 4-5 years....heres what i think i want so far.......
Antec Performance I P180 Silver Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Antec NeoPower 480W Power Supply
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16817103924
ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI ATX AMD Motherboard
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16813131517
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ Toledo 1GHz FSB 2 x 1MB L2 Cache Socket 939 Dual Core Processor
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16819103546
now for the newbie questions.......
-will that power supply be enough?
-will that motherboard fit in the case? i know its the right form factor (atx) but, from looking at the pictures it doesnt look like it would line up w/ all of the holes in the back of the case?
-is that 4400+ processor worth it over the 3800+?
and i know i really do not need SLI for what i use my computer for, but i thought it wouldnt hurt to have it for the future, and just run 1 card lol
any other suggestions or recommendations would be great!
anyways thanks for any help...
