Hi all,

Planning on building a new PC shortly, I've come up with these components:

- Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 (G0 stepping)
- Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3P
- Corsair DDR2 2GB PC-6400/800 (2xXMS2 1GB) TWIN2X2048-6400C4 RAM
- Antec Sonata III Case (w/ 500w PSU)
- XFX 8800GTS 512MB Alpha Dog Edition

How do these components sound? Any conflicts or problems that anyone can see?

Thanks for all advise/comments.

Brent.

That's a nice case and PSU should work. Obviously, if want a more powerful PSU, get a case that doesn't come with one unless you want a backup

I was hoping I would get away with the included 500w PSU with the Antec case. I'll only be using the selected components, along with:

- 1x WD Raptor drive
- 1x WD 1000GB "Green" drive
- Pioneer SATA DL DVD-rw

I wont be doing any overclocking of the CPU, maybe only the video card every now and then.

Will the included 500w PSU handle the components OK?

Thanks again for all the help.

The PSU that comes with the case will work
