Building a PC


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I'm thinking of building my own PC and i've had a look round at various parts and this is what i've come up with:

Case-Colorcases.com-Noblesse

Mobo-Soyo - KT333 Dragon Ultra

Ram-512Mb PC2100 Crucial

CPU-AMD XP 2000+

HD-Maxtor D740X 60GB UDMA133

CPU Fan-Thermaltake Volcano 7 Plus

CD-RW-Lite On Internal IDE CD/RW 40x12x48x

Case Fan-Thermaltake Smart Case Fan 80mm x2

Graphics-Asus V8420 TD 128mb (Ti4200)

What do u think and will it all work together?

Any comments appreciated,

Thanks,

Mike

Make sure you get a motherboard with built-in RAID, and instead of buying one 60gb hard drive, buy two 30gb hard drivers, hook them up in RAID-0 (striping) and you will have twice the speed.

Believe me, doubling the performance of your hard drives is a must. Why bother with a fast cpu, fast memory, only to be only to be crippled by a slow hard drive?

but if u run it with ur PC2100 then u wont get any speed advantage, u'd have to dump ur PC2100 ram chip if u want the performance of the PC2700.
