IT'S MY BIRTHDAY..it's my birthday...doo da doo doo..
anyways.. I finally settled on components. I got everything but the CPU, i'm waiting to see how much this whole adventure has cost me before I can commit to what I can afford for the processor.
here goes
mobo- Asus A8N-SLI Premium
Vid- EVGA GF 7800GT 256mb
RAM- Corsair ValueSelect 2Gb
HDD- Western Digital Caviar 250Gb SATAII 3.0Gb/s 16mb cache
Sound- Audigy2 ZS
Optical- Asus DRW 1608P2S (dual layer DVD burner)
OS- WinXP Pro (upgrading to Vista once it's available, I just hope everything is compatible)
Future upgrade will be to get another vid card for SLI and another HDD so I can set up RAID1 for security
I know that i'm not original at all with this set up, but I didn't feel like this was an area I was comfortable experimenting, I wanted tried and true with easy overclocking.
