Hi everyone.
I would really really appreciate it if you guys could critique my AMD setup that I plan to build in the near future.
This will be my first build but I have an ok amount of knowledge on what is involved in building and such.
I would really like someone to point me towards a good power supply(aka PSU?) that will work well with the mobo im planning on buying.
I would also like some advice on a windowed case because the one that I have is a little too expensive.
Here are the parts listed in no particular order:
-AMD Athlon 64 FX60 Toledo 1GHz FSB Socket 939 Dual Core Processor
-NEC Black IDE/ATAPI DVD Burner
-Thermaltake Kandalf Black Aluminum/Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case (What does ATX mean??)
-Seagate Barracuda 160GB 7200 RPM IDE Ultra ATA100 Hard Drive (replacements welcome, dont need too much space)
-DFI LANPARTY UT nF4 SLI-DR Expert Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI ATX AMD Motherboard
-LINKSYS EG1064 10/100/1000Mbps PCI Instant Gigabit Network Adapter
-eVGA 256-P2-N525-AX Geforce 7800GTX 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Video Card (possibly go with a GT??)
-FSP Group (Fortron Source) FX600-GLN ATX12V/ EPS12V 600Watts Power Supply (Really need help on this one)
-Thermaltake CL-P0114 120mm Cooling Fan/Heatsink
-Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound
-G.SKILL Extreme Series 1GB (2 x 512MB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) Unbuffered Samsung TCCD System Memory (OK choice???)
-Creative Sound Blaster Audigy2 ZS GAMER Limited Edition Sound Card
Is there anything else that I will need to assemble this thing??
I need some advice on cooling systems and such. What will I need in terms of fans and other things like that???
Are all these parts compatible with eachother??
I will probably come up with some different questions later because I am pressed for time right now and I know I forgot something.
Thanks a ton in advance!!!
