ok well this is going to be my first system that I build, I've looked around a lot and went with what I thought seemed like a good deal for the price, and I just wanted to know any tips or things I should know about. so far I have the following -
-Asus A7M266 with AMD Thunderbird 1400Mhz 1.4Ghz /w heavy duty heatsink and ballbearing fan
-Seagate 30.6GB EIDE ATA AT/66 3.5LP 8.2MS 7200RPM BARRACUDA
-3D ProphetT 4500 64 MB
-256MB, 184-pin DIMM x2
still need a case / power supply, and a nice cd rom. this computer is mostly going to be for gaming and or video editing.
did I get the wrong ram? wrong hd? wrong vid card? what else will I need? any feedback / pointers are appreciated. thanks in advance
