Get rid of the intel p4 for a barton and you probably already saved around
50 quid of your price.

||Hi all
||
||Well, I am biting the biscuit and doing something I should have done years
||ago and building my own setup. After many years of buying sub standard rigs
||from mainstream vendors with great "stats" yet the cheapest nastiest parts
||imaginable I am determined to caugh up the mulah and go for DIY
||
||I am looking for some advice on the components I have chosen. I know each
||individual have their own "tastes" when it comes to parts, but what I am
||looking for is any known compatibility problems between the parts, any known
||"major" issues with various parts i.e tempermental motherboards with a
||shoddy bios etc.
||
||Parts are as follows
||
||Thermaltake ATX Supertower ( black ) with window
||
||Thermaltake Silent 480W ATX PSU Dual Fan
||
||Asustek S478 Intel 865PE Deluxe ATX A L R Mobo
||
||Intel P4 2.6 512Kb S478 800FSB
||
||Thermaltake S478/SoA Aquarius II Water Cooling
||
||Kingston ValueRAM 2x512MB PC3200 DDR (matched)
||
||Gainward GeForce 4 Ti4800 128MB
||
||Asustek CD-RW 52/52/24
||
||I have worked out I can buy this set up for around £700 with a bit of
||shopping around and trips to Bowlers - is this good value or should I be
||aiming lower?
||
||Does anyone know if any of these parts will clash with each other?
||
||Are there any known bugs with any of these parts which I should consider
||prior to purchasing?
||
||I am wanting to make sure the PC is hyperthread ready, can run at full
||800FSB and is utilising AGP 3.0 standards. Of course many would say many of
||these functions are currently defunct as they are not being utilised but
||they will be eventually, and I would like to be readyf or them when they do.
||
||Thanks in advance for any and all advice offered
||
||Kind Regards
||
||Daniel Yates
