Another dime a dozen post..

I just wanted to get some advice on a new build before I went out and invested a bunch of money on it... I posted a different build a few days ago, but decided to scrap it and start anew. I'll be shopping around for parts, but I including newegg links anyway... Here it is:

It has been a while since I've put anything togather, so if there is anything at all that comes to mind when looking at the above list...feel free to send me a PM or mention it..even if It seems small... I'm just hoping this will work out..

-Well, thanks for all in advance

Anyone?

Looks good to me. Have you heard alot of good things about that moniter? I have been looking at a 19" widescreen from Hanns-G. But for $15 more thats a great buy. But its not widescreen.

Let us know how the build goes. Post a 3d Mark Score. Good luck, have fun.

Actually, from what I've been hearing I might be better off going with a ViewSonic or Samsung rather than the Acer. I'm thinking perhaps something like this:

ViewSonic VA1912wb Black 19" 8ms Widescreen LCD
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16824116373

Maybe I'll check out the Hanns-G also...

Any thoughts?

Other then display, Anyone have any advice regarding HDD, or Optical Drives? Would it be worth paying a bit more for something better then the Lite-On? If so, Like what? (The lightscribe is not important)

Anyway, thanks again for all...

All right, I think I'm going to make these changes:

eVGA 512-P2-N573-AR Geforce 7900GTO 512MB
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16814130065
--Instead of the x1900xt

Samsung 18x DVD+/-R DVD Burner
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16827151133
--Instead of the Lite-On

LIAN LI PC-7B plus II Black Aluminum ATX Mid Tower
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16811112099
--It's cheaper then the other Lian Li case and is just about the same..

Also, the ViewSonic monitor I listed above...I'm still looking for imput on in..

Anyone have any advice regarding PSU? I'm being told I should get something better then Antec..but I don't know what...

The Lian Li is a pretty case, but it's hard to compete with $40 cases with 120mm fans. The $40 you save can bump you up to DDR2-800 ram or something.

Thanks, I may just do that...

Just a simple question, in a scale on one to five (five being the highest), How big of an OC'er are you or how much would like to OC?
