Hi,
To summarize:
I am NOT a gamer.
I currently am on an Athlon 800, 15gHDD, Windows ME, so I am styling no matter what.
I want a cool running system
I want a quiet system
I won't OC
I do alot of surfing, burning, scanning, music, word, outlook,spreadsheet
I know everyone is going to try to talk me out of every single thing I have chosen for one reason or another but oh-well. I just enjoy all the diversity here.
I am not sure about:
1)Case & PSU
2)HDD How much do I really need? I like the Seagate but is it to small? I have been getting buy on 15g but that's w/out a DVD drive so...?
3)Video card. I am not a gamer but dont like my mobo choices w/ onboard and want quiet so I went w/ the one listed (heatsink).
I am a bit concerned though that it will create more heat than is warrented for quietness and have back ups in mind.
4)RAM. I want good stuff but do I need the listed stuff?
