I am thinking about building a new pc. I have some questions. First question is about the case. What do you guys think about this case? It comes with 6 fans.
case
I am going to buy the AMD Athlon 64 3400+ retail version. It comes with a fan and heatsink. Are these any good, or should I buy some better fan/heatsink combo? It's this one here:
CPU
For this CPU I'll buy this motherboard: MSI K8T800 Chipset Motherboard for AMD Socket 754 CPU. Is this good? It's over here:
motherboard
Then I was thinking of buying the Maxtor 6Y160M0 160GB Serial ATA 7200rpm 8MB Hard Drive, found here
HD
Also I want to get a Plextor 52x24x52 CD-RW Drive. This is here:
Burner
I am going to buy PC 3200 RAM but I'm not sure how much 512 or 1024? Also what manufacturer do you recommend? I am also thinking of buying a Radeon 9800 XT with 256 mb. Is this a good setup? Are there any incompatibility issues? Also, the HD and burner are OEM, is it a good idea to buy OEM stuff or should I stick to retail?
Thanks for the help.
