Comments Please for Second Build
Hello. Its been six months or so since my first build and am now looking to tackle it again for my wife's computer. Will primarily be used for internet, photo and possibly video storage and editing.
Here is what I am considering so far. I already have the case. Any comments or suggestions as to compatibility or availability of better options is highly appreciated. Price is not so much of an option, but would like to hit the sweet spot as much as possible. Thanks so much. Motherboard: Asus P5B-E http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131070 Is there much difference between the P5B-E and the P5B? Should I choose the P5B? PSU: Antec SmartPower 2.0 SP-500 ATX12V 500W Power Supply http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817103937 Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 Conroe 2.4GHz http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819115003 RAM: CORSAIR ValueSelect 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145098 HDD: Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3320620AS (Perpendicular Recording Technology) 320GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822148140 Video: eVGA 256-P2-N549-TR GeForce 7600GS 256MB 128-bit GDDR2 PCI Express x16 Video Card - Retail http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130029 DVD: LITE-ON Black 20X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 8X DVD+R DL 20X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 8X DVD-R DL 12X DVD-RAM 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-R 32X CD-RW 48X CD-ROM IDE Burner with LightScribe Technology - Retail http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16827106045 OS: Microsoft Windows XP Home With SP2B 1 Pack - OEM http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16832116056 |

Looks solid to me. The main difference between the P5B and the P5B-E is the former's lack of Firewire. The P5B-E also has a couple extra SATA connectors.
