hi all, i'm soon to place an order with regards to my new gaming/overclocked rig. im basically looking for something that'll run games really well and have very fast overall performance. can all please let me know how im doing so far, suggestions are really appreciated.
the parts im not too sure about are as follows.
is my gfx card the best X1900 XT-X for the price?
my power supply, will it fit in the antec 180 ok and is it nice and quiet?
my cpu fan, is it nice and quiet and will it do a fantastic job of cooling?
my burner, is it any good?
and is the opty 170 better for overclocking than the x2 4400?
thanks all, in advance.
Mantrid.
