Hi Ive probably made a few of these posts already but I have finally chosen most of the parts for my first pc build. I also have a few questions so here I go...
CPU- [font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] AMD ATHLON 64 X2 4400+ DUAL CORE PROCESSOR S939 TOLEDO 2.2GHZ 1MBX2 90NM (or should I go with the 4800? I probably will stick with the 4400)
MOBO- DFI LANPARTY UT SLI-DR EXPERT
OR
[/font][font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe (it has the SLIx16 but is it really worth it compared to the 8x do graphics cards even take advantage of that extra bandwith)
Ram- (this is where I kind of need some help deciding) I was orginally going with the [/font][font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] OCZ EL Platinum PC3200 2GB 2X1GB DDR400 CL2-3-2-5 1 but then I was going to go with [/font][font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] OCZ Platinum EB PC4000 2GB 2X1GB DDR500 CL3-3-2-8 but the site I am ordering from (ncix.com since i live in Canada) doesnt carry that anymore... I also am looking at the [/font][font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] OCZ Gold EL PC4000 2GB 2X1GB DDR500 CL3-4-4-8
GPU - [/font][font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] BFG GeForce 7800GTX and hopefully when the prices go down Ill add the second in SLI. Or should I just get the 512???
PSU- Ultra [/font]X-Finityâ„¢ 600 Watt or the Ultra X2 550W PSU[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]

Hard Drive - [/font][font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] Western Digital Caviar SE 200GB SATA2 7200RPM 8MB 8.9MS Hard Drive or or the Hitachi Deskstar T7K250 200GB if the site I am ordering has it. I t hink they only have the 160gb. [/font]

DVD WRITER- [/font][font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] LG GSA-4167B
CASE - NZXT Lexa ... heres a link... http://www.nzxt.com/Lexa.php
It has 3 120mm fans already installed and 1 80mm fan and comes with a 500w psu which i can probably use for something else.
I think thats everything... the sound card is an onboard so I dont think I will get an add on one. And OS is going to be Windows Xp Pro
So those are my specs right now. I hopefully dont have to get a pc for a while now... this should be blazing fast for a while... so what would you change? And I got a few questions about paritioning hard drives and stuff but I ll ask those later. [/font]
