Upgrading my computer..

[ToddS]

Hello everyone,

I've decided to upgrade my existing computer to an advanced gaming system, and here's everything I'm getting..

Asus A7N8X motherboard
AMD Athlon XP 2600+ cpu
Radeon 9800 Pro
A chieftec case with a 450w power supply

I currently have a 30GB hd, but I'm planning on not upgrading that until a little while, since I don't have that much on my computer except two games and a few other programs. Should this be a pretty ultimate gaming system? Comments/Suggestions appreciated...

Looks good...you'll need to format the hard drive to boot it in your new system though.

oh this is my first time building a computer.. you know anywhere I can get information on doing this properly and efficiently?

Got one pretty good starting point here...

Just remember to make backups of your files, and make sure you've got all your necessary drivers before you format..... (unlike what I did, and lost a pile of "Favorite" links and some important Word documents )
