Hey all,
I've narrowed it down to a point I'll post some specs to see what you guys think (mainly for parts compatibility reasons). I have a set budget so this is going to have to work.
MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum
AMD64 3200+ 90nm
1 GB Corsair ValueSelect
Thermaltake A1883 Heatsink/Fan
**********
Right now I'm running a couple of ATA hard drives, but plan on upgrading to SATA later this year when funds allow me to. Plus I want to learn more about RAID before I screw around with that.
My current sound and video cards are as follows:
Sapphire ATI Radeon 9600 Pro 128 MB
Hercules Game Theatre XP
Both are cards I'm sticking with. I have to have the sound because of the breakout box for my Klipsch ProMedia 5.1 sound system.
Overall, I won't be doing any overclocking for a while. I'll simply be playing Half-Life 2, working in Photoshop & Dreamweaver and other basic stuff most people do.
I like the looks of this setup, and just wanted some final analysis from you folks.
Regards,
Ian
