Hi need some help
the system i'm currently overlooking is
motherboard: ASRock 4CoreDual-SATA2 LGA 775 VIA PT880 Pro/PT880 Ultra ATX Intel Motherboard cost:$78.20 AU
cpu: Intel Core 2 Duo Processor E6600, LGA775, 2.4GHz 4MB L2 Cache 1066Mhz FSB cost: $295.00 AU
ram: MEM KINGSTON PC5300 1GB DDR2 667MHz x2 cost (total): $66 AU
case + psu: Antec Atlas + TruePower 2.0 550W Power Supply cost: $278.30 AU
PSU info:TruePower 2.0 550W Power Supply
vid card: HIS x1950 Pro IceQ3 Turbo 256 AGP - bought
HDD: Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD3200AAKS 320GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM - bought
all i need to know at the moment, is the compatibility. right now the major problem is the AGP vid card, since I've already bought it and it was meant for my current pc.
I was reading up a review on the 'ASRock 4CoreDual-SATA2 LGA 775 VIA PT880 Pro/PT880 Ultra ATX Intel Motherboard' apparently the compatibility for vid cards is quite picky, just wondering is that for vid cards that connects to PCI-e x16 expansion slot?
if everything is compatible so far, could i get some advice, on a good enough sound card and maybe some cooling.
unfortunately I'm on a tight budget at the moment, so i can only use this vid card, and since its AGP it really brings the whole performance/cost down imho :S
so far iIve tallied the price to be $717.5 Australain, in total I want to keep the cost under $900 if possible.
Thanks in advance
