Hi,
I am building a new PC and needed some advice. Here is my current setup that I am considering:
Abit NF7-S Version 2 Motherboard
Maxtor 6Y120M0 120gb Serial ATA 8mb Cache 7200rpm - OEM
Panasonic Floppy Disk Drive Black 1.44MB 3.5 inch internal - OEM
Corsair (VS512MBKIT400) 512MB (2 x 256MB Matched Pair), DDR400 / PC3200, non-ECC, Unbuffered, CL2.5, Lifetime Warranty
Nec Double Layer 8x DVD Dual R/rw - Oem Black
Radeon 9800 Pro Graphics Card
Case: A nice and quiet Antec Sonata which comes with a silent and good quality PSU.
How does that setup seem? I have left one thing out: Processor. I was going to go for the AMD XP2600+ retail pack, but a few people have said it is better to go for the XP-M 2500 as it can be made faster than an XP3200+. Now what would you say? Bear in mind this is my first attempt at building a PC and I have never overclocked. I also found this processor that is also meant to be overclockable and costs less than the XP-M equivalent:
