Hi,
Due to my current machine being a bit out-of-date, I have decided to build my second computer.
My aim here is to have a multi-purpose computer with an interest in gaming, music recording (using external soundcard which I already have), programming (for the occasional night when I have been slack at work) and general computer use (Internet, Office apps etc).
Anyway, I have done some research and designed a computer which to me seems pretty good. I based my last build on the opinions given from users here, and I had no troubles whatsoever. So I am asking here again knowing that I will get good advice.
Here are the parts I have picked at this stage:
Case: Thermaltake Aguila Silver (http://www.thermaltake.com/product/Chassis/midtower/aguila/vd1000swa.asp)
CPU: AMD X2 Dual Core 4400+
M/B: Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe (http://www.asus.com/products4.aspx?l1=3&l2=15&l3=0&model=744&modelmenu=1)
Memory: CORSAIR ValueSelect 1GB (2 x 512MB)
Graphics card: 7906-BLISS 7900GT 512MB GS (http://www.gainward.net/products/product.php?products_id=49)
HDD: Seagate 250GB 7200rpm SATAII 16MB
PSU: Antec Truepower II 550W
OS: Windows XP Home
I'm using my current monitor (Samsung SyncMaster940N), DVD burner, floppy disk drive (well I got one here if I need it), mouse, keyboard and speakers.
How does this build look (part choice and compatibility)? And am I missing anything?
I picked the motherboard due to its good reviews and possibility of using SLI in the future.
Cheers.
