review this setup plz...

What speed is the RAM? There's no point getting faster than PC3200 unless you're going to overclock. If you are going to overclock, then get a P4 2.6C instead of the 3.0. It gives you more overclocking headroom, plus costs less.

a Good CRT monitor is still better for gaming.

Even if not overclocking, I'd say get a P4 2.6 or 2.8 and spend the extra on a 9800Pro for gaming at its best.

Aside from that, pretty decent, I'd say.

That <A HREF="http://www.antec-inc.com/specs/true380_spe.html" target="_new">PSU</A> is fine even for overclocking. It does 28 ampere on the 3.3v line. In fact if you look at <A HREF="http://www6.tomshardware.com/howto/20021021/powersupplies-13.html" target="_new">Toms PSU review</A> the true power 380 crushed most of the over(high)rated PSUs. (Don’t believe the hype) The case is fine but not quite up to extreme cooling. But I guess quietness is what you're searching for.

Dichromatic for your viewing plesure...

If you don't plan to overclock or run at agressive memory timings, then the cheaper stuff should be ok. The only word of caution is that in order to run the RAM in dual channel, the two sticks must be very closely matched or you get problems. This is why many manufacturers sell matched pairs for dual channel.

The cheaper lines will be manufactured with slightly lower tolerances so 2 of them <i>might</i> not cope with dual channel, as they won't be sufficiently similar. You'll probably be ok, but that's the only other reason for getting more expensive stuff that I can think of.
