This is my first time attempting to build a computer of my own, and no one I know can help with my questions.
1. My question is will the following items work well together? I don't know everything about what I'm doing, but I have somewhat of an idea.
**I found all the items on newegg.com ...if you need to check out any of
the specs.
-ASUS P5LD2 R2.0 LGA 775 Intel 945P ATX Intel Motherboard
-Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 Conroe 2.4GHz LGA 775 Processor Model BX80557E6600
-ASUS EN7600GS SILENT/HTD/256M GeForce 7600GS 256MB 128-bit GDDR2 PCI Express
x16 SLI Supported Video Card
-Kingston 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) Dual Channel Kit
Desktop Memory Model KVR667D2N5K2/2G
-Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD4000AAKS 400GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive
-XION Onyx XON-303 Black/Blue Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
*Is this a "normal" size case?
*This case has a 120mm fan for intake and one for exhaust. It also has a
140mm fan on the side to cool the processor/MB. Do you think, with fans
this size, that would I need a heatsink?
*Can a "slim" DVD burner fit in a regular sized 5.25" bay slot?
2. What kind of wires do I need to connect everything to the motherboard? Or rather, what kind of connections does everything use (including disc and floppy drives)?
3. If I was looking to be gaming (and running Vista), should any items be upgraded? Any suggestions as to what newer model
4. What size power supply should I be looking for? I do know that I need something that won't be strained when trying to feed the comp. As of today, newegg has a bundle with the case and an 800W PS; is that enough for what I've chosen?
5. Finally, I am on a budget, so if you feel that something does need to be upgraded, try to keep in mind the cost.
I hope that covers my questions. Thanks for the help!
