My new Comp

Hey all, thanks for all the help with my numerous threads. I wanted to let you know what I ended up getting and get any feedback on things I should know etc...


Antec Sonata Case (world's quietest PC case)
Antec TruePower 380W PSU
ABIT AI7 mobo
Intel Pentium 4c Northwood - 3.2GHz @ 800MHz FSB
BFG-Tech's Nvidia GeForce 6800GT 256mb
1GB RAM (2x 512mb Corsair CMX-Pro CL2 PC3200, the ones with the "blinky lights" )
Seagate SATA 160GB HD 7200rpm 8mb cache
Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Internal
Logitech Z-680 5.1 500watt surround sound speakers
19" Viewsonic G90FB
Pioneer DVR-108 16x/4x-DL DVD Burner
Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer 4.0 optical w/tilt wheel
Microsoft Digital Media Pro Keyboard


How does that look to all you "pros" out there? I will be using the computer for internet browsing and word processing only. Will this be enough?

Calm down, just kidding. Using it for video editing & games.

Thanks guys again for all the help,

Dan

The psu is borderline, so think about getting something a little bigger.
The intel stock hsf for that chip is noisy, in a whiney sort of way, so I would change it.
Nice setup over all. You should be very happy.

Won't be noisy if he use that Intel approved chassis, I know this from experience.

Nope I just trust Intel a lot, they have recommendations on a lot of things in their website.

I have a Prescott 2.8E with Intel mobo and Intel recommended chassis and it never goes beyond 50c on load.

The Intel heatsink is high quality and you should know that you lose your warranty if you use 3rd party heatsink.
