Hi all, I'm new to this forum as well as the computer mod/upgrade world. I have some questions I would really like help getting answered about my upgrades. I'm not extremely knowledgable, but I'm looking to gain as much knowledge as I can.

Here's the setup I'm going to run.
Dell XPS
Intel Pentium 4 3.2 GHz
3 Gb pc3200 (DDR 400) 4 DIMM
256MB DDR ATI Radeon 9800 XT

My question is what type of fans should i buy to upgrade my performance, as well as if i should change power supplies. I currently am running the same setup except with 2 DIMM 1gb (512MB X 2). I was told that I should look into new fans and power supply so I figured I'd get started on the forum and ask around. Thanks for the help!
 
You may want to look into liquid cooling....what type of fans are you asking about? cpu heatsink fan? case fans?
 
My question is what type of fans should I buy to upgrade my performance
Do you want brute force performance or do you want silence?

as well as if I should change power supplies.
Any PSU you upgrade to will (1) have to come from dell since they use propreitory connectors and (2) will suck. See the PSU 101 for explainations :)
