I am getting very close to purchasing the following system and wanted to get everyone's thoughts...

P4 1.6A
Abit BD7-II
Samsung PC2700 512 megs
Antec 1080B w/ true power 430w
stock cooling unless suggested otherwise
GF4 Ti4400...still deciding on brand

I will be using the follwing also which I already have
Lite-on CDRW 32x12x40
Lite-on DVD 16x
SB Audigy OEM
Viewsonic 21 P815
Maxtor 80gb 7200 ATA133
Maxtor 80gb 5400 AtA100 (may or may not use)
I am still open to suggestions so if you see something that I should change please let me know. This pc will be primarily for gaming and will be my first attempt at overclocking.

Looks good, except for the "Stock Cooling" bit. You definately want a decent HSF combo on top of your CPU.....

I'm afraid not, being an AMD man myself. But ask in our Intel CPU topic for reccomendations.......:)

Good luck with the system!
