this will be a mostly gaming rig, and I need help/advice on a few things.
this is what I am thinking on getting.
lcd - samsung 226 bw
harddrive- Baracuda 7200.11 <250 gig> sata
psu- corsair 520hx
Mobo- LANPARTY LT X38-T2R
cooler- artic freezer 7 pro
burner- samsung sh-s203b sata
cpu - e8400
vid card ???.
now for my questions
Memory- which brand would be good? I was looking at a-data pc6400 4 gigs or so.
case- I liked the look of the antec p182, is this good for gaming? I want a quiet case with good air flow that will last.
sound card- will the onboard sound of the dfi be enough? I have a klipsch thx speaker setup to use atm.
what operating system should I go with- vista 64 or xp 64?
so what are your thoughts/suggestions/changes? I would like to keep it under $1500 and dont plan to upgrade for a few years.
thanks for any replies and help.
