Hi,
I'm building my own for PC for the first time, and I've been making some progress. I learned as much as I could about RAM, and putting together PCs.
So far, I've decided to get a ASUS P4P800SE Intel mobo, a P4 3.0E Prescott 800MHz processor, and Kingston 1GB (2 x 512MB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) for the RAM.
First I need some opinions on these choices. I'm 95% sure they're all compatible. Crucial.com isn't showing otherwise.
Second, now I need to figure out what video card to get. I won't be using this PC for gaming, just web browsing/Photoshop/watching avi's... I need a cheap, entry level video card that's reliable.
Third, with this mobo/ram/proc, will I need special cooling, or will a regular case and fan do the job?
Thanks in advance
