I've been visiting this site for a couple weeks now and love reading the reviews and all post on this forum. Here are some upgrades I was thinking about doing to my OLD PC and was just wondering what people thought about them.
Thanks a lot for taking a look.

•Case: Antec Performance P180 Black
•Power supply: Zalman ΖΜ 460-APS
•Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-965P-DQ6 or Asus P5N32 SLI SE DLX :?:
•CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 Conroe 2.4GHz LGA 775 Processor
•RAM: Corsair 2GB DDR2 XMS2-6400C4 TwinX
•System disc: WD Raptor WD1500ADFD
•CD/DVD: NEC AD5170 Double Layer
•Graphics card: XFX 7950 GT EXTREME EDITION
•OS: Microsoft Windows XP Professional With SP2B
•CPU cooler? :?:

Is there anything here that I should be aware of?

Regards ,

I am partial to asus, I have had a couple of there board in the past, I have also had a few gb boards, i prefer asus they have nicer bios options and I have had fewer problems with them.
I would recommend a zalman cooler. They are nice, quiet, decent for over clocking. I have had one in the past and it served me well. Though they are kinda pricy. :(
I also like the cooler made by swiftech the MCX6400-V this cooler will not fit your proc, at least I don’t think so, someone correct me if I am wrong. But they are a very nice brand, I am currently using 2 of them to cool a duel Opty system I have. They work well and have a low profile.

Looks like one nice setup, if you ask me. I wish I could afford something like that setup :)
