Hello! I am going to buy a new computer..
I would like some suggestions for parts!
This is what I've been thinking right now!
Intel Pentium 4 Northwood 2.4GHz 512Kb 533MHz Boxed (with cpu-cooler!) Socket 478
Gigabyte GA-SG667 SIS648 3DDR-DIMM 5PCI 1AGP Audio Socket478 ATX
Original 512Mb PC3200/DDR400 DDR 184pin 400MHz (AMD OK)
Hercules GameSurround Fortissimo III 7.1 Retail PCI
Chieftec DH-01W Dragon Small MidiTower White 300W ATX (AMD&P4 OK)
Arctic Silver 3 Premium Thermal Compound 3g
Western Digital Caviar XL 120.0Gb 7200rpm Special Edition UDMA100 IDE
Papst 8412NGML 80x80x25 26.5cfm 2050rpm +/- 10% 19dBA 4pin
Hercules Radeon 9700 PRO
------------------------------------------------------
Mind you that I don't really know much about computer stuff..
How can I make this computer better by not adding so much money? How are my choices for motherboard, cooling and the miditower? I'm uncertain if the motherboard is a good choice.. also I'm thinking of buying a new CPU cooler... How many Watts are neccesery for the PSU? will 300W be OK?
Does it matter what miditower I chose?
Please help and comment! =)
