OK here is what I have on my list so far:
Corsair TwinX 512MB 32000LL (2x256) $193
AMD XP 2500 333 FSB $179
ATI 9500 Non-Pro 128mb (red) $158
Soltek SL-75FRN-L $92
Western Digital 40 GB $81
7200 RPM 8MB cache
Antec True 430 PSU $78
Thermal Right SLK-900 $52
Zulman ZM80A-HP (GPU Heatsink) $35
Case Estimate $30
Arctic Silver III $4
_____
Total so far $902
Items I still need to pick if you can help me figure them out:
2 case fans (Front/Rear)
one heatsink fan
operating System
I have been in the forums for about 2 weeks now and just combing everything I could for what I should get. If you think I should change something or add something please feel free to let me know. I am totally new to overclocking and this will be the system that I will start OCing on. Do you think this is a good start point for a NOOB OCer?
I was also wondering how I could totally transfer my whole 12 GB hard drive to another hard drive including operating system and all. This is the bind I am in, I currently have windows 98SE (No CD's ) on my HD and lots of important documents and stuff, and I wanted to know if it was possible to just totally copy everything onto the new 40GB hard drive I will buy including the operating system so I don't have to buy another operating system. If think involves RAID or anything I would be willing to buy a controller.
Thanks, I hope we can all be involved in this project of mine and bring it to fruition together.
