Okay, as the subject says, I'm building a new copmuter. Since I'm new to the whole idea, I need some help with what types of equipment I should buy.
So I've decided I want a Athlon FX55 processor, and I need to know which motherboard goes best with the FX55.
In addition, should I buy Registered or Buffered memory to go with that motherboard; and what's the best/ most reliable brand of memory?
Also, do I need any additional fans or cooling devices in addition to the ones that are supplied by the parts? If so, what kind of cooling device would I need?
What type of power supply should I have? I'm planning on building an Athlon FX55, 400GB SATA ,2GB Memory, ATI Radeon 9600SE, Creative Sound Audigy ZS2 desktop, so I'm wondering how many watts of power I should need, and if there may be compatibility issues with a case.
Finally, I need a DVD+RW/CD-RW drive that's doub'e-write capable. Which brand should I buy? Also, if I buy a DVD+RW drive, will it be compatible with DVD-R, DVD-RW, and DVD+R?
Thanks, and if you could give me hyperlinks to sites with that information, it would be helpful.
