Hi,
I've recently decided to build my own computer(this will be my first time), and I've got a rough figure of what I want in it. This is what I have at this point:
Case: Antec SX1040BII (includes a 400 watt Smartpower PSU)
Mobo: Asus A8V Deluxe
Video Card: ati Radeon x800 XT Platinum
CPU: AMD Athlon64 FX-55
Sound: Creative Audigy 2 ZS
RAM: Apacer 512mb DDR PC-3200 SDRAM, Samsung chipset (2 of these)
HDD: Western Digital 160gb 7200rpm
DVD-ROM: Dynex 16x DVD-ROM internal
CD-RW: Dynex 52x32x52 Internal CD-RW Drive
as well as a 19" flat-screen monitor, basic keyboard and mouse, and a set of speakers which I already own.
Specifically, I'm looking for any recommendations for cooling and whether my PSU will be able to handle it(if not, what do you recommend?) Also, please note that I am on a mild budget(namely, trying to keep it under $2500).
Thanks in advance,
Luxar
