Hi everyone, This is my first attempt to build a computer from scratch. I'm updated components and reformated many machines, but this is my first attempt at building one from the ground up. It's mainly going to be a gaming machine, but I do alot of excel work for my Lab.
I was thinking the following...
ASUS A8N-E Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 Ultra ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail
I want to use this processor, but I don't know if it'll be compatible:AMD Opteron 165 Denmark 1GHz HT 2 x 1MB L2 Cache Socket 939 Dual Core Processor - Retail
eVGA 256-P2-N563-AX Geforce 7900GT CO 256MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Video Card - Retail (I hear that it has the same performance as a 7800GTX for $100 less)
CORSAIR XMS 2GB (2 x 1GB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) Unbuffered Dual Channel Kit System Memory Model TwinX2048-3200PT - Retail ($20 cheaper than buying 2 1GB sticks alone)
Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 ST3250824A 250GB 7200 RPM IDE Ultra ATA100 Hard Drive - OEM
Also, will this setup support duel channel ram??
Thanks for the help,
