Building a new PC for gaming and to learn some of the new technology out there.
Here it is:
Case: Xcilio A380
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811103008
Power Supply: Corsair HX Series CMP SU-620HX 620W
http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=373110
Motherboard: Asus Crosshair
http://www.directron.com/crosshair.html
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+
http://www.directron.com/ada4200cubox.html
*Video Card: Geforce 7900gs
Ram: Corsair XMS2 2gigs

or
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820145168
(I'm not sure what the difference is. Better cooling on the second one?)
Raid 5 with 3+ hard drives
I changed out the power supply to this new one. I think it will be more quiet at the very least and more power.
Basically my two questions now are:
1. I think this build will be a low noice build and do you think the AMD stock fan will be making the most noise? If so where you do think I should look?
2. The Crosshair motherboard goes up to 1000 fsb, this ram is only 800. Do you think I will be able to overclock either of these two, too 1000?
Thanks for all the answers.
Side topic, I have the chance to run this on Vista, I would think/hope this would run it perfect, am I right or wrong?
