Hey everyone,
I am in the process of building a new computer for the first time and I have a couple of questions. First, these are the specifications of the computer:
-Case: Antec Quiet P180 Black /550Watt Power Supply (Seasonic)
-Motherboard: eVGA nForce 680i SLI
-Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 (2.40 GHz, FSB1066, 4 MB L2)
-RAM: OCZ 2GB DDR2-800 (2 x 1GB)
-Hard Drive: Raptor SATA 10,000RPM 150GB
-Video Card: EVGA GeForce 7950GT 512MB
-DVD player (Sony Blu-Ray RW)
-Floppy Drive
-Cooling: Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro
-OS: Vista
Here are my questions:
1. I was wondering if I should replace one of the fans with the Arctic Cooling fan, or just add the arctic cooling fan to the build? The Antec p180 comes with 3 built in 120mm fans. Also, the E6600 came with a fan, should I just use all the fans that I have now, a total of 5?
2. I was thinking about switching the WD Raptor 10000 RPM with a SCSI 15000 RPM drive, what do you think? Also, I don't know much about SCSI, so will it be compatible with this build?
3. Will I need any extra drive cables, or should all the parts come with the necessary cables?
4. Finally, if anyone has any experience building an Antec P180, do you have any advice for me? Should I start by installing the lower chamber first?
THANKS IN ADVANCE!!
