I think I have everything planned out for my new home system. I want to run the hardware list by you guys to see if anyone notices any problems, trouble, or has any thoughts, before I buy.
(New Stuff)
- MSI "K7N2 Delta2 Platinum" NVIDIA nForce2 Ultra 400
- AMD Athlon XP 3200+ "Barton", 400MHz FSB, 512K Cache Processor
- Thermaltake SILENT BOOST for AMD AthlonXP up to 3400+
- Seagate 120GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive, Model ST3120026AS, (Quantity: 2)
- Corsair XMS 184 Pin 1GB(512MBx2) DDR PC-3200
- 500Watt Power Supply
(Existing Stuff to be Used)
- Pioneer DVD-ROM
- Lite-On CDRW
- Creative Soundblaster Live Platinum 5.1 (w/ live-drive)
- Floppy
- PNY Geforce-3 64mb Graphics Card (to be eventually replaced by incoming 6800GT)
So far, I think only the geforce3 will give me initial problems, just because it's old. (Anyone else think that'll be a problem on this sytem?) I'm replacing it with an NVIDIA 6800GT 256mb after I build the system. I'm waiting for the price to drop a bit on the vid card and for my system to be stable before I put it in. (I hate doing the plug-n-try style of building a new machine when one of the components is a $400 graphics card that could get fried!)
So...Good? Bad? Thoughts?
I'll be putting in the orders probably by the end of the week.
