Hi
I've got an old coolmaster case sitting at home with nothing in it.. i need a new PC so i'm looking at putting some parts in here to build a new gaming machine for COD and a few other games.. i also have a blackgold DVB-T card so will prob but that in too.. will either run Xp Pro or MCE 2005 as i plan to get a XBOX 360 when the price starts to drop
Here's my list of components so far
Mobo
either
Gigabyte GA-K8NPro

or
Asus A8N32-SLi Deluxe 939 NF4 Dual x16 SLi DDR400 SATAII Raid 2xGbE Lan 8Ch Audio
I prefer the Asus board but have seen a few people have bouht these and had problems with them posting.. plus it is abit dearer..
abit worried about the number of PCI slots though as if i have SLi and 2 DVB-T cards not much room for anything else
AMD Athlon 64 Socket 939 Dual Core 4200 + 1MB 'Manchester' Retail
GFX Card
i know ATI cards are probably better but i prefer the N-Vidia mobos.. snot really too sure on what would be better here a single card or 2 SLi ones
ATM am thinking of 2 of these
256Mb XFX PCI-E 6800GS SLi Extreme XXX Edition GDDR3 ViVo Tv Out, D-Sub, DVI, HDTV
Any advice on the GFX card would be great as that could end up be a performance stopper if i get the wrong one.. and end up being an expensive mistake
will put in 4 GB or Crucial PC 3200 RAM
2 Sata II maxtor HDDs prob 200 to 300 GB
just need some advice now on PSU and heatsink \ cooling
would like the system to be as quite as possible but need an ATX 2.0 PSU
maybe this one
620W Enermax Liberty Modular Series SLi - ELT620AWT aPFC ATX2.2 2xPCI-E 4xSATA 12cm Quiet Fan
but any advice would be great
