many answers needed::
- i have the antec p180 case, and an antec truepower trio power supply...
when you try to fit the power cables through their little duct that keeps out the heat, do you want to put all of them in the upper area of the chassis?
also, it seems too me that all of the wires will barely fit. is it supposed to be like that, or is it jsut because my power supply has a lot of connectors?
-im thinking of having an e6400 or an e6420 in this build. this "class" that im in is giving us 600 dollars to "build your own computer". im going to be adding $700 of my own money to make this a gaming pc. is there any way to build a stable pc for 600 AND include a possible e6300/6400/4300 witha gigabyte ds3/s3 (which i assume is the best budget c2d oc'ing board?)
-im not sure if i would need to do this or not, but, do yyou think i will have to flash the BIOS? i have no clue how to do this, so any guides would be helpful.
-would you recommend using 667mhz or 800mhz mem? i know 800mhz oc's better, but if im most likely going to be on a stock cooler, is it even worht the extra money? im still not even sure if i want to oc.
although they do sell quality 800 mhz ram for 170 ish dollars (2 gigs of course) i know that some RAM doesnt work with the ds3/s3.
-im going to get either the 8600U or the 8800gts 320 meg for my build.
im assuming the 8600U will be out before mid-april (when we are actaully building it) which would you recommend for a computer on this $1200-$1300 (including monitor, mouse/keyboard etc)?
im only afraid that if i get the 8600U, that it wont work well with a 20 inch widescreen monitor (1680 x 1080) playing even old games at highest textures/AA and AF? or should i get a 19 inch widescreen, or 19 inch 4:3 regular (1280 x 1024)
-should i get 1 or 2 dvd burners?
-should i add more 120mm fans to my antec p180 case? it seems to already be nicely cooled...but u never know.
-do :gaming" mouses really make that much or a difference, or should i jsut get a wired/wireless microsoft set?
****
in wrapping up my extremely noobish, prolonged topic, i jsut want to know if a COMPLETE build for $1200-$1300 that fits all my needs is possible (with the 8600U or 8800gts)
i would really appreciate replies, and, again, srry for the long post@@@
