Time To Buy A New Computer


Recommended Posts

Okay, so its that time again when i feel the need for a computer upgrade, after quite some looking, reading and comparing i have come up with the following setup:

[MB]Asus M2N32-SLI Deluxe, nForce 590 SLI, Socket-AM2, DDR2,2xGbLAN,ATX, 2xPCI-Ex16

[CPU]AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ 3.0GHz Socket AM2,2MB, BOXED m/fläkt

->http://www.komplett.co.uk/k/ki.aspx?sku=33...led#ProductTabs

[GPU]Asus GeForce 8600GT 256MB GDDR3, HDCP, PCI-Express, 2xDVI-I/HDTV, DVI to HDMI

->http://www.ezy-electronics.com.au/catalog/...roducts_id=1840

[RAM]Corsair TWIN2X 6400 DDR2, 4096MB CL5, Kit w/two matched CM2X2048-6400 Dimm's

->http://www.komplett.co.uk/k/ki.aspx?sku=33...led#ProductTabs

[PSU]Fortron/Source Power Supply ATX 400W Bulk, 120mm, SATA, 20/24pin

->http://www.komplett.co.uk/k/ki.aspx?sku=308622

[Chassi]Antec Performance P182 Miditower, Gun Metal Black Aluminum

->http://www.komplett.co.uk/k/ki.aspx?sku=341841

[HDD]Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 500GB SATA2 16MB 7200RPM

->http://www.komplett.co.uk/k/ki.aspx?sku=320711

[COOLER]Scythe Katana 2 CPU-Cooler, 120mm

->http://www.komplett.co.uk/k/ki.aspx?sku=335080

On it i will be using Win XP Pro SP2 EN 32bit, so therefore i will only be able to use ~3gb ram.

I will not be overclocking any parts

Questions/concerns:

-PSU enough for that? + some hdds, cd drives, and pci cards?

-Is the CPU, RAM and motherboard a good choice? Work good together?

-Cooler strong enough?

-That graphics card should be good enough right? since i dont play much games and all...

Any other comments on this setup?

Thanks!
