i have never built a computer before, but i've read how some parts may not be compatible with others and so on, so i've put some pieces together and wanted to get other's opinions on it and see if they would work well together... this would be a gaming computer mainly
- 430W Power Supply Case
- Black Edition AMD Athlon X2 5000+ CPU w/ HyperTransport Technology
- Extreme-Performance AMD CPU Cooling Fan System Kit
- Asus M2A-VM AMD 690G Chipset w/6-channels, Gb LAN, S-ATA Raid, USB 2.0, Single PCI-E MB
- Mushkin 2048MB [1024MB X2] DDR2-800 PC6400 Memory Module
- ATI Radeon HD 3870 512MB - PCI-Express x16 //OR//
- ATI Radeon HD 3850 256MB - PCI Express x16
- 160 GB HARD DRIVE [Serial-ATA-II, 3Gb, 7200 RPM, 8M Cache]
this was taken from a computer i've been playing around with from IBuyPower, but i've heard making it myself by buying individual parts costs less, so i'd like to hear some opinions, thanks in advance
