Complete System?

[Silverstain]

Well.. i've been doing some research and i think i've found the parts for my new computer. Can you guys give me some advice and tell me if i should change some things around? Btw: I only mentioned the important parts that matter most.. cd rom, floppy, keyboard, etc. i can handle that, lol.

Full Tower ATX
Dual PSUs (400 watt for system, 300 watt for fans, etc.)
KR7A-Raid (ATA 133 Cables)
Athlon XP 1800, 266 fsb
2 - 40 gig 7200 rpm, ATA 133 Hdd
GeForce 3 Ti500
OCZ-PC3000 DDR RAM (2x256)
Creative Labs Audigy 1394 PCI

Hows that sound so far?

Looks good although I'd just a 450watt Sparkle PSU instead of buying two it'll last you quite the time and run your HDD and fans.

And consider case fans and a good heatsink.

I've see OCZ DDR Ram and I wasn't impressed try going w/ Crucial, Corsair or Kingmax they are good :D

looks pretty good to me. i'm not familiar with the KR7A so i wouldn't know about that. if it doesn't support ATA133(most don't) you're gonn ahave to get a controller card. vid and ram look good. what kind of hard drives do you plan on getting?

KR7A is already ATA133 ready.

I'm not sure about brands... What companies make good GeForce 3 cards, hdd's, fans, heatsinks, etc.?

Heres everything that i can think of.. except monitor. I need help on monitor decisions. If anyone can see anything wrong with my future setup, or any prices that can be lowered, please let me know. Right now this set up is roughly $1,400, w/o shipping.
