My plans...

[brettbt]

Im currently running:
AMD Athlon 2000+ 1.67ghz
512mb RAM
80gb harddrive
ECS motherboard (eMachines T2080 model)
GeForce 6800 (i put in)
Sound Blaster LIVE! 24-bit (i put in)
350 watt power supply 12V @ 18A (i put in)
2 120mm fans (came with case, i moved around)

what i plan on doing and buying in the weeks to come:
Rosewill 500watt power supply 12V @ 34A-- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817182004
Corsair RAM 1 GIG--
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820145522
2 more NEON light fans 120MM--
www.xoxide.com
New case with 4 120MM fan slots--
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811209002
Western Digital Caviar SE WD800JD 80GB 7200 RPM 8MB Cache Serial ATA150-- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822135106

After I install and buy all these I might buy new motherboard/processor. The hard drive Im buying is from storing games, music, software etc. my slave which is my hard drive right now will hold windows, etc. I also make movies so ill be needing a faster hard drive (7200 RPM) since my current is 5400RPM. What you guys think, think itll be an ok system after all. the reason im buying my mobo/processor last is cuase its the most money and i want it to be a good one (AMD 64-bit 3.2ish). tell me what you guys think and ill keep you updated as i go on oh, and i just bought pc155's for cstrike (greatest headset ever)

That case comes with a power supply tho. That 500 watt that you were going to buy seperate looks good though. And corsair makes good ram.

corsair makes excellent ram. ur gonna replace the rosewill with the default in the case right? yes? ok

 

[brettbt]

yeah ill take the one with the case out and put the rosewill in. the rosewill will be supplying power to 4 fans 2 harddrive dvd drive cd drive and geforce 6800 so well see how it holds up, i think it should do fine.

(AMD 64-bit 3.2ish).

As long as you mean 3200+ish and not 3.2Ghz is then thats so far so good

That case comes with a power supply tho.

Yeah but at 18A, i wouldnt trust a new fancy system to it

@bretbt:
I dunno how heavy of a gamer you are but theres not a world of real difference between Corsairs XMS and their value line (i.e., at most you'll notice say 5fps difference ... whether thats worth the price difference is up to you )
