Wondered what you thought of the PC I am just about to build

Postby aaronsoup » Wed Mar 24, 2004 5:48 am

Hi, I was just wondering if you could give me some pointers on whether or not i have the best items for my pc, as 1) this is only my 2nd pc built and 2)they're all under 28 day return and I'm not opening the packs until i have anything...

The system i've chosen so far =

Case: Thermaltake "Skull"
PSU: 450w Thermaltake
Stupid Luxury I'll never use: Aquarius Liquid Cooling System 2
Motherboard: Asus K8VSE Deluxe AMD VIA K8T800 Skt754
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3400+ Stk 754 Retail
Hard Drives: 2x Maxtor Serial 250GB UDMA 150 7200RPM
RAM: 1GB (2x512MB) TwinMOS DDR Dual Channel Kit (plus another single 512 module).
VideoCard: Sapphire 256MB 9800XT Ultimate
SoundCard: Terratec DMX 6Fire 24/96 Sound System (With Front Module)

RAM is non returnable btw, so no use telling me to go back and change it.

Any idea's on how this can be improved???

One thing i'd like to know -- Would you reccomend Platinum Audigy 2 with external box over the terratec??? I have a Audigy Platinum 1 and find it to be absolute sh**..

If anyone has any suggestions on the soundcard please let me know... I gave up on E-Mu cards as I don't need that much capabilities (in the UK they are around $600 as well which is kindof a nono for me)

I mainly use the PC for creating music, so a proper front/external interface is essential... But i'm not looking to pay more than £200 ($350 or so)...

Suggestions???
