I'm currently looking into building a new computer (90% for games) and so far I've decided on :
CPU: AMD 64 3700+
MOBO: Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe
RAM: OCZ Platinum PC3200 EL DC DDR 2Gb Kit
HDD: 2x...either WD/Seagate 200GB SATA or 2x Maxtor 250gb sata 16mb (depending on end price) on RAID 0
VIDEO: 7800gt 256mb PCI-X..(Brand TBA..though Albatron seems to be ok in some reviews I've read in a couple of mags...though i've also never used them for anything before)
Optical Drive: Pioneer DVR-110D (not sure where to buy a retail version. Also..does it come in Black)
PSU: Antec Truepower..not sure how many Watts i'll need.
CASE: TBA...Looking for a cheap one..though i'de like it to be stylish, wide enough so the optical drives don't cover the mobo & room for 120mm fans.
Monitor: Unknown...Possibly a CRT 17" Flat Screen..don't really like the LCD..they seem kinda blurry to me + they get dead pixels + they cost more.
CPU Cooler: Either the good Thermalright one featured in recent review, the Skyth ninja or the Gigabyte one.
Comments/suggestions welcome.
P.S. Eventually I'de like to overclock just to get a bit more power...but the DFI board I've read alot of posts about is a bit costly for me.
