might be building a new computer for a friend of a friend. Will be used for mild gaming and general internet usage. No plans to overclock. also i would expect they will have this pc for a while witch is why i went with a faster proc.
the parts I am looking at:
Rosewill R6422-P BK Black SGCC Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Rosewill RFA-120-BL 120mm 4 Blue LEDs LED Case Fan
Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3160815AS 160GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s
SAPPHIRE 100226L Radeon HD 3850 512MB 256-bit GDDR3
Thermaltake Purepower W0100RU 500W ATX 12V 2.0 Power Supply
OCZ Platinum 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500)
ASUS P5QL PRO LGA 775 Intel P43 ATX Intel Motherboard
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Wolfdale 3.0GHz LGA 775
Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound
All the parts are from New Egg.
the biggest question i have is with the memery. from the reseach i have done the memory will work fine but since i have limited experience with the intel setups i figured it doesn't hurt to ask.
was planning on using XP pro for the OS. was not planning on getting a aftermarket heatsink for the Proc since it does come with one. Do you believe the boxed intel heatsink will be fine for this build?
