Excellent, but note the ONLY 2 pci
slots. You need to think ahead about
that .. especially if you get a hot video
card with a big fan. Then you only have
one pci slot.
intel core 2 duo e6400
?
corsair ddr2 533mhz pc4200 1gb ram
I prefer Kingston tech support.
seagate baracuda 250gb, 7200rpm,16mb cache
No opinion, but the Hitachi drives are very
quiet. Seagates use to whistle.
ati radeon x1600 512mb pci-e
There's just no way I would touch an ATI
video card for a while. The nVidia 7900 series
is super good, plus the drivers allow custom
video resolutions that work well with the wide
screen lcd monitors.
ati tv tuner
For pete's sake do not get the pci version. Get
the pci-e x1 slot version. Your mobo is perfect
for that, plus you've got the data pipe needed to
prevent problems with audio-video sync .. that
ALL the pci slot tv tuners have.
pioneer dvr-111d dvdrw
Piece of crap. Get the Sony. Much quieter, and
really much better.
antec p160w OR p180
Never worked with it, but looks smart.
ocz modstream...should i get 450 or 520 watts?
520
and floppy
Sony, but note the Mitsumi floppy with card reader at
Mwave. I got that one. Neat.
I highly recommend you get the mobo bundle at Mwave.com
if it is available. Make sure you have them assemble and test
the bundle. That gives you good tech support and warranty
on the entire bundle, and you are assured of a working mobo
when it comes in. Out of the box is chancy, and you have
only the manufacturer warranty. Nuts to that. Also, you don't
mention a monitor. Right now, I'm testing a Viewsonic
vx2025wm ... the wide screen 20.1 incher. I like it so far.
My game box at home uses the vx924 19 incher. Very fast
at 4msec. I can tell a slight difference between it and the
2025 .. but not much.
