Ordering Computer Hardware Tomorrow! Need Help!

[ghost909]

Here is the list of what I plan on ordering and questions.

AMD 64 4000+
BFG Geforce 7800GTX OC 256Mb
OCZ Dual Channel PC3200 2GB 184 Pin Titanium RAM
Western Digital Caviar SE16 250GB 3.5" SATA 3.0 GB/S Hard Drive
Samsung Black E-IDE/ATAPI DVD Burner Model SH-W162C/BEBN
Creative Labs Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeMusic PCI Sound Card
DFI Lanparty NF4 UT SLI-DR Expert Socket 939 ATX Motherboard
Logitech X-530 5.1 Speaker System Black 70W RMS
Thermaltake Xaser Tsunami Black w/ window
Enermax 600W ATX Power Supply

Please tell me if I should change anything.

Here are some questions I have..

1. Should I save 80 bucks and go with the 3800+ instead? Or is it worth having the 4000+'s larger L2 cache?

2. Is the DVD burner I chose good or should I spend another 50 bucks and get a Plextor?

3. Is the mobo good and does it support X2 cpus (I may get one in the future). Or should I get a different mobo like an Asus (Please tell me the model).

4. Should I get the Western Digital Hard drive that I chose, or a different model, OR a Seagate 250GB Barracuda?

5. Is the PSU I chose good? I heard that alot of people are getting defects with that model. If there's a better 600W PSU, please tell me.

Thanks in advance

The power supply is a very good one, but probably a bit more than you need. Could drop down to 500/550w no problem, but staying with an Enermax is a good idea. Opt for the Seagate drive, overall a bit more reliable. Plextor's are nice, but really worth an extra $50 in my opinion. I'd swap the Samsung drive for a Sony DRU-810A.

The L2 Wont Make A BIG Diffy But If You Have The $$ Go With The Faster One

Why not get dual core now ?
You can get the Athlon64 X2 4200 for $50 more than the Athlon64 4000.

I've read better reviews for Antec TPII-550 as compared to the Enermax 600. Should be more than suff for your config.

Ither The 4200+ Or The 3800+ Will Do You Good Ither Way, Good Choice With The AMD
