Do you need the Canterwood? IS7 from Abit is a great board at a great price. Don't know about that ram.

 

[HardWareBoss]

Do you plan on OCing your Cpu?

 

[fragglefart]

Dont know that RAM brand, if you are going all out you may want to consider a couple of SATA hard drives to stick in a RAID to compliment that spiffy P4/9800 combination.

That machine should be sweet.
Buy a wicked monitor, cant stress that enough!

ok well could u recommend me a some good brands of hdd then?
I will eventually get round to overclocking

 

[fragglefart]

Um well i have two 160Gig Maxtor SATA drives, running in RAID 0, they seem pretty good to me, but other brands may well be better. I doubt there is much in it however.
Then again perhaps i got lucky and they are ace!
A definate improvemant over older ATA drves though.
Maxtor, Western Digital and Seagate are all good.

If money is no concern, then go w/ 2x512MB chips of RAM. You'll appreciate it in the long run. Other than that you should be cool.
