Pieces parts - 1st build

[Dominocus]

SHE got the good computer, car, house, etc, so I'm stuck using a PIII - 500, for now. Money is tight, as I'm pretty much starting all over. I've been accumulating bits and pieces which I find to be exceptional bargains. Here's the lowdown on the parts I've so far accumulated:

xp 2500 retail
nf7-s
(2) kingston 256m/333 ddr (not dual channel compatable)
radeon 9200 128m
turtle beach santa cruz
(2) maxtor 8m 80g
win xp pro upgrade

I'm thinking of Antec 635/350w as my case.

Do you see any problems with compatability? Is the stock cpu fan good enough or should I buy a better one? Feel free to offer any other thoughts after you've recovered from the laughter.

ALSO, if any one would care to help me through my ordeal privately, please contact me dominocus@cox.net.

Thank you for your time.

Well the NF7-S has a very good sound card (almost audigy2 quality) built in, so there is not really an need for the turtle beach santa cruz.

And as long as you are not overclocking the stock cooler will be just fine.
Other than that it looks like a fine system.

Yeah looks like an excellent budget system.
Only thing I'd suggest is forget two 256MB sticks and get one 512MB stick. This will allow for upgrade in the future.

he will still have 1 slot free & with 2x256mb on 1 mem. controller & 512mb on the other he would still get dual channel in the future.

have you tried running the memory in Dual channel?

That should be ok, unless you want to o/clock then I would change the h/s fan.
For a stock pc, it should be fine.
Don't expect to run games at high res though, with the Rad 9200.
