I am looking to build a 3.06 P4 system and would like opinions on the components I am going to use, Here goes :
Case: ANTEC Performance PLUS Model PLUS1080AMG- with Antec Original TRUE 430W P4 Power Supply ATX12V
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-8PE667 ULTRA2, Intel 845 chipset,Socket 478 for P4 ATX motherboard Retail, Serial ATA ,RAID,USB 2.0
Processor: Intel Pentium 4 / 3.06GHz 512k 478 Pin Processor HT Technology 533 MHz FSB
CD-RW: PLEXTOR Black PX-W4824TA/BPS-BL/ 48x24x48 CD-RW
RAM: (2 sticks of) KINGSTON KVR333X64C25/512 512MB 32x64 PC2700 DDR RAM (better than 2100 2400)
Monitor: ViewSonic 18" LCD Display Model VG800 With Bezel Speakers
Keyboard & Mouse: Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop Keyboard & Mouse
Hard Drive: WD WESTERN DIGITAL EIDE HARD DRIVE 120GB 7200RPM MODEL # WD1200BB -Caviar OEM
Floppy Drive: SAMSUNG 1.44MB BLACK FLOPPY DRIVE Model# SFD321B/KEB - OEM
OS: S/W Microsoft Windows XP Professional
Sound Card: Creative Labs Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Platinum (Model SB0240P)
Video Card: ATI All-In-Wonder RADEON 9700 PRO 128MB DDR 8X AGP
I think I listed everything hopefully I didnt miss anything. Right now it looks like this system is going to cost 2800 (roughly) plus shipping of the parts. I would appreciate any advice, help, or opinions on it. One big question I have is about running a 3.06 processor on an Intel 845 Chipset. I would go 850 but I do not see any good 850 Chipset boards which run DDR ram (which is what i prefer to use because it is cheaper)
Thanks
