hello,
i am trying to set up my first homebuilt pc. this is my choice for the
moment:
asus a8e-n
athlon 64 3200+
2x twinmos 512mb
barracuda 7200.7 200gb sata
geforce 6600gt
since i do not need superperformance, but a good pc that can last a
couple of years, these are my doubts:
do you thin 3200+ is going to be old very soon? better 3500+?
is seagate ok? it seems to be more reliable than maxtor and less
expensive than western.
a more performant graphics card would be appropriate (maybe a 6800gs [i
prefer nvdia for shader model 3.0 support].
last, but not least: i am at loss as to what case to buy. any idea?
what are the main features of a case.
thank you everybody for your advice!
