After much forum reading and some posts I think I got my build list down to the final draft. I'm looking for fine tuning of the list and recommendations.
This build is for gaming only.
OCing? Hmm, well, I'm a virgin to OCing. I've heard alot about, I want to do it, I know of some who are doing it, I'm nervous for the first time. So we'll see. I think with the parts I have on the list, it shouldn't be a problem except for cooling.
Case: Antec Performance Plus Plus Veiw II
Mobo: DFI LanParty UT NF4 SLI-DR
CPU: AMD athlon 64X2 4400+ Toledo
HD: WD Caviar SE16 WD2500K2 7200rmp 3.0Gb/s 250gb
PSU: OCZ PowerStream 520W
Video: (2) evga 256-P2-N516 GeForce 7800gt 256mb
The following parts I already have:
Ram: Corsair TWINX1024-3200C2PT 1GB DDR400 XMS3200 Dual-Channel Memory w/Platinum Heat Spreader
SC: CL SoundBlaster Audigy 4
Speakers: Logitech X-530 5.1
DVD: Lite-ON ATAPI/E-IDE SHW-160P6S
My main concern is compatibility. If I've done my homework correct, I should be fine.
So any thoughts on tweaking the list? (i.e-do I really need to SLI? or on the AMD, going w/Opteron and switching mobo)
