Yet another "what do think of my bits" posthope Im putting this in the right area
Im a novice first time builder, been reading up and just need a bit of advice on what I have come up with. Being a HTPC keeping it cool n quiet is what its about.
Already purchased-
Antec Fusion version 2
Abit AN-M2HD mobo (sticking with onboard graphics for now)
In my sights-
Samsung spinpoint 500gb SATA HDD
Samsung SH-S182M optical
OCZ DDR2 platinum 6400 2x1gb
AMD AM2 Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 6000+
Questions!
1- samsung optical- any reason to go for the Samsung SATA drive, not that bothered about it not having light scribe. Main thing is quietness.
2- CPU- not sure to go for a lower range model (less heat?) or go for CPU power.
Any other comments advice much appreciated, thanks
