Building New Rig - Component Advice Needed
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 |
