After some problems with the secondary card holder of my dads credit card buying his 2 sons a quad each for xmas and the credit card being maxed, im going to order.
PCICASE, HyperLine II, £17.01
Antec 480W PSU, £43.35
Mobo, GigaByte GA-K8N Pro - SLI, £63.32
AMD 64 3200, £94.80
Gfx card, 6600GT, £85.57
2x512mb Kingston RAM, pc3200, £51.03
Western Digital Caviar SE 120GB 7200rpm SATA2 8MB OEM, £47.80
Ebuyer Extra Value 8cm Case Fan With Red/Green/Blue LED's, 3 of these, £2.37
And a anti static wrist band for a few quid.
A few final questions before i checkout these products and get building.
Will the HardDrive being OEM be a problem, will i be missing some cables?
Will the harddrive being SATA2 be a problem with my motherboard?
Will this PSU be ok, changed it after the one i liked was out of stock.
Are these fans cheap because there rubbish? Should i get other ones, i also read a thread about people having some fans blowing air in, others takeing air out, should i do this? If so how do i go about it?
I know that overclocking reduces the lifespan of the componets u overclock, but how long would this CPU be expected to last? What if i overclocked it, how many years would it go then, a few examples of different durability times and overclocking speeds would be nice.
How good for overclocking is this motherboard, im not to bothered about it though.
Thanks
EDIT:
When setting up this PC, i will be using the new harddrive, format, make paritions and then stick windows on it. But when i put in the harddrive that is in this pc atm, will it cause any errors because of the hardware on this atm? This harddrive also has windows on it.
