This is my first time building a computer so I may be a bit clueless as to which parts to get. I am not necessarily under a budget but I also don't need top of the line components. The rig will be used mostly for basic apps, video encoding, and maybe some gaming (I've never gotten into FPS and I would like to be able to play HL2 or Doom 3 if I wanted to with high settings). Here is what I have so far:
CPU: A64 3000+ S754 $146 shipped
MB: DFI LANParty UT nF3-250Gb $98 shipped
RAM: 1 GB Corsair VS $141 shipped
GPU: Leadtek 6600GT AGP $208 shipped
Case: Antec Sonata $94.82 shipped
I already have 20GB and 80GB WD hard drives, NEC 3520a, old Lite-On CD-RW burner, Creative Audigy, and Dell CRT M991 monitor.
Also, I have had absolutely no experience with OC'ing, as my current rig is a Dell 4100. Is this system able to be decently overclocked? And if I do decide to overclock, would the 380W power supply included with the Sonata be able to hold up?
Thanks a lot for your time, I know you guys see way too many of these threads.
