I'm building my first home-built (be gentle ) with some help from veterans and the good-ol' interwebs. I'd love some input on my component list to see if there's anything I missed.
Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3R (LGA 775/P35/ATX)
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6320 (1.86 GHz/1066 MHz FSB/LGA 775)
Memory: Kingston 1GB DDR2 800 (PC2 6400/1.8V/CL=5)
Video Card: PNY VCG8600GXPB (GeForce 8600GT/256MB/PCI-E/HDCP/SLI)
DVD Drive: LITE-ON Black IDE DVD Burner
PSU: APEVIA ATX-CW500WP4 (ATX/500W)
Some comments:
0. I haven't settled on a case yet. I don't have a ton of space to put the machine, so I'm looking for a mid-tower that's not terribly deep (can be wide and/or tall, however). I'm open to any suggestions.
1. This PC will be used 90% for HD video playback to an HDTV.
2. I know the PSU isn't great--I was going to start small and if it doesn't work out move up from there.
3. I have an old 250 GB WD SATA hard drive I'll use for my system install.
