Hello everyone,
I recently purchased an Antec Solution Series Super Mid Tower case with a 350 smartpower power supply. I plan on buying a p4 2.4b processor, hitachi/ibm 180gxp hard drive, and radeon 9500pro.
Which model number of the 2.4b should I buy?
Which motherboard? (needs to have 800fsb hyperthreading support for the future) How is the ABIT IC7-G? Would it accept the ibm hard drive (what is ata-6?)?
What type of ram?
I plan to overclock, but not too much. I need a fast, STABLE system that is not overpriced, so please give me some options.

I also found out that I am moving to Europe from the USA at the end of the month. So, after I buy the parts here, how should I transport the comp? Checked luggage? Mail? I'm afraid that it will get beat up along the way.
Thanks for your help guys.

If you aren't planning on overclocking too much then, any 2.4B chip will do. If you are planning on moving to Europe in the next month, I would buy all of the parts, then assemble the system in Europe. All motherboard IDE connectors are backwards compatible so your IBM should work just fine.
