This is the Case/Speakers/Keyboard/mouse Barebones kit I'm ordering from TigerDirect.
Specs:
Soyo KT600 Dragon v2.0 Socket A ATX Motherboard(this is good, right?)
AMD Athlon XP 2900+ Processorfreak: I know absolutely nothing about AMD)
Ultra Socket A/370 Copper Core CPU Cooling Fan(will I need more than one?)
Ultra 512MB PC3200 DDR 400MHz Memory(Would it be better to have one gig?)
Maxtor 120GB ATA-133 EIDE Hard Drive(this is perfect)
XFX GeForce FX 5200 128mb DDR Video Card(Also perfect)
I'm needing suggestions for a monitor and a good quality Optical drive (preferably a DVD/CD-RW)
And also, I need to know a little more about Socket A processors and installing them.
I'll mainly use it for games. And I probably won't need it online until I got to college next fall. (don't really know what difference it makes) And I might be using it for graphics(C4D, Adobe, etc...), seeing as the college I'm going to uses PC's and PC software.
So.... any feedback would be greatly appreciated since this'll be my first, (almost from scratch) build.
