Hey all,
I just wanna say thanks in advance for any and all input... I have owned a few computers, a Compaq here, a Dell or two there... but after finally saving some cash.. i am going to build myself a nice a$$-kicking box.
I'm really trying to get the most out of one ultimate rig... i'm trying for a high end gaming rig/ graphics (web, print, 3D, video) workstation that will also handle my mp3 hoarding, cd/dvd burning and regular day to day, word processing, web surfing etc...
I'd really appreciate input on what i have spec'd out.. particulary in terms of performance, stability, compatibility with the above goals in mind...
also, with the time i have spent lurking on these boards =) and a few others... i am becoming more and more intrigued with all this overclocking business... being a automotive gearhead... the bug to hot rod my computer although not planned just yet is quite inevitable... so your opinions on that would be great too..
Components spec'd so far:
---------------------------------------
Intel P4 3.0Ghz 800Mhz FSB
Asus P4C800 Deluxe
2Gigs RAM - 4x512MB Corsair XMS PC3200C2
Radeon 9800 Pro 256MB
2 x Western Digital 200GB 7200rpm 8MB HD - striped, RAID 0
Sony DRU500A DVD+/- RW
Sound Blaster Audigy 2
Antec True Power 480W PSU
Lian Li 6070 Case
Dell UltraSharp 2000FP 20" Flat LCD
