Hello everyone, Im new to these forums but look forward to getting involved.
Im doing my first build (Ive ordered everything and its coming in 1-2 days) and I have a few questions. Here is a list of what I have purchased:
AMD 64 3200+
Abit Kv8 Max3 mobo
Sapphire Radeon 9800Pro
1Gb Geil pc3200 DDR
Antec Sonata Case that comes with a 380w PS
Arctic Silver Ceramique
DVD/CD etc.
My questions are 1.) Will the Antec case with the single 120mm fan be sufficient for cooling this thing?
2.) Will the power supply provided be sufficient enough to power it?
3.) Is the stock heatsink and fan provided with the chip good enough? (I dont plan to overclock or anything fancy right now).
4.) Finally are there any little tricks or hangups I should watch for when building?
Any help answering these questions would be greatly appreciated and I thank you in advance. I just dont want to run into something unexpected after spending all this money.
