Hi all
I am planing to build when the new gf cards from ATI and NVidia come out so gf is still undecided. But it will be single card.
Rest of the build :
Samsung 20" SM 204B,monitor LCD, 800:1, 300cd, 5ms, DVI-D, 1600x1200,
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600
DDR2 Corsair 2048MB Twinx XMS2-6400 2x1gig, cl5
gigabyte 965p-ds3p rev3,3
2xSeagate Barracuda 3.5" SATAII300 320GB, 2x
LG GSA-H42L, LightScribe
Arctic-Cooling Freezer 7 Pro
VA8000BWS
GF card pending release
1) I am still deciding between the Thermaltake VA8000BWS Armor or Thermaltake VA8003BWS Armor. I am not sure that i need the extra side fan. I am mainly worried about the extra noise on the other hand if it would help to keep the northbridge and southbridge cooler than it would be worth considering. So i could use some input on this.
2) Having a real problem choosing a PSU. So far i am deciding between theese
Zalman ZM600-HP 600W
Corsair HX620W
Fortron Epsilon FX600-GLN 600W
I want a quiet and stable PSU but there is problem with price and AVAILABILITY because i live in central Europe. Fortron is the cheapest out of theese but i cant find a good review or detailed specs. Again help needed.
3) I am a newb to this so bear with me. the MB has 8 SATA and 1 IDE i am planing to get Floppy drive (safety, sentimental value) and the cd/dvd drive will be IDE as well because the SATA ones are simply not yet available here + i have a 200gig hardrive which i would like to have connected for backups.. Is it posible to conect the 3 devices into 1 IDE port? (how?)
4) Another newb question. On the PSU's they list only 2 SATA conectors. Does that mean i can only have 2 SATA devices. Again i think i am missing something here.
Thanks for you help
