Hey there, I'm finalizing the plans for my new computer, built from the ground up. I'd love comments or advice, anything you have to add!
Computer Case:
XCLIO A380BK Fully Black High Gloss Finish SECC 1.0mm thickness ATX Full Tower Computer Case (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811103010)
Power Supply Unit:
RAIDMAX Volcano RX-630A ATX12V / EPS12V 630W Power Supply (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817152026)
Video Card:
EVGA 256-P2-N386-RX GeForce 6800GS 256MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130063)
Processor:
AMD X2 5000+ Black Edition (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103194)
Motherboard:
GIGABYTE GA-M57SLI-S4 AM2 NVIDIA nForce 570 SLI MCP ATX AMD (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128014)
HDD:
Seagate Barracuda 7200 250GB SATA 2.0 Hard Drive (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148262)
I am also going to purchase some other obvious essentials, such as a CPU fan, some thermal paste, and I am going to buy 2GB of Crucial DDR2 RAM from my friend. Total is about 650 USD.
Comments welcome! Oh, and of course I am going to put Tux on my computer! I'm thinking a dual-boot or triple-boot with Slackware and another distro, maybe Arch or Zenwalk. :)
