I am getting ready to purchase components for an AMD build (gaming and general use). I was wondering if I could get some feedback on my selections (different parts, more money here, less there,etc).
Not sure about overclocking, not interested in SLI. Planning on running raid (stripe).
I could use some PSU and case recommendations. I was thinking Antec Sonata II and using the included SmartPower2.0 450 PSU. Is that PSU going to be sufficient?
I am around $1500 (assuming sonata) and would like to stay under 1750 total, so I have just a bit to play with.
For now I will be reusing my current CRT monitor (thinking quick upgrade to LCD, though). Also thinking about just moving my old sound blaster live to the new system for now.
AMD Athlon 64 4000+ San Diego ($368.00)
