I was here a while ago asking about power supplys and now I am wondering what you guys think of my final build for a gaming system.
Also is Hewlett Packard(HP) memory bad? I am planning on using it because its cheap, but if its ganna give me a performance hit I don't want to use it.
I am building a system:
Athlon 64 4000+ 2.40GHz 1MB Cache 1000MHz FSB SanDiego Core(939)
MSI K8N NEO4-F Motherboard (socket 939)
Hewlett Packard 2x512mb PC3200 DDR DIMM Memory Kit
Maxtor DiamondMax 200GB 7200RPM Hard Drive
eVGA GeForce 7600 GT Video Card
Cooler Master 430-Watt ATX 80mm Fan (this is the power supply I finally picked, any comments?)
So what do ya think?
[Edit] Had another question i posted below:
Oh I had another question as well. I heard that their can be problems with the memory controller when using dual channel feature if you use all 4 slots on your motherboard.
For example if I stuck 4 sticks of the same 512mb pc3200 ddr ram into all 4 slots on my board, shouldn't it be running dual channel for both sets?
Also would having 2 sticks of 1gb pc3200 running in dual channel be better than having 4 sticks of 512mb pc3200 in dual channel?
